How to use placeholders
In order to use a placeholder, open the connection preferences and edit the upload path or bucket name of the connection to include placeholders from the list above:
- e.g. for upload path:
/var/www/uploads/%year%/%month%/ - e.g. for bucket name:
dropshare-uploads/files/%year%/%month%
For SCP over SSH, SFTP, FTP(S) or WebDAV connections, make sure to also include the placeholders in the URL to Path field.
