Hi James,

Simply put, you can't. The BizTalk Server 2004 FTP adapter uses the
Xceed.Ftp class, which can be found here:
http://www.xceedsoft.com/products/FtpLib/index.aspx. Internally, to
retrieve a list of files to transfer, a method is called within the
library, named "GetFolderContents", which is passed the "File Mask" you
configured within the property page of the receive port as-is. If you check
the documentation of the Xceed.Ftp class for that method, you see that you
can only set the filemask to whatever a regular ftp server would support
(e.g. *.xml), no macros are available to use. The documentation for the
GetFolderContents method is located here:
http://doc.xceedsoft.com/products/ftpNet/ref/index.htm?page=xceed.ftp.ftpclient.getfoldercontents.html

HTH,
