BI and FTP Uploads - Problem with creating new directories

[BrownChiLD]

I have image ftp upload set and use the filename:
Y%m%d\&CAM.%Y%m%d_%H%M%S

basically I intend for all image uploaded will be grouped into different folders by date.

However, i'm getting an error on the FTP upload: "550 File Not Found"

I figured this is because the directory does not exist on the FTP server.

How can we make BI create the Dir automatically?

From my notes while trying to get alert videos via ftp:

1) Post ftp images -

a) macros work fine - creates folder and file​

2) On alerts --> ftp images or videos

a) macros do not work in path​

b) creates folder(s) without expanding %macro, no file created​

c) no macro in folder name - creates folder(s)​

d) macros in file name sometimes a problem​

i) &CAM.%Y%m%d_%H%M&S%T - correct​

ii) &CAM %Y-%m-%d %H.%M.&S - did not save file​

iii) &CAM__%Y-%m-%d__%H.%M.&S correct​

iv) &CAM on %Y-%m-%d @ %H.%M.&S - correct​

I gave up trying to ftp videos using macros as part of the directory structure. Everything placed into AlertVideos folder and then manually separated by month to keep file count down.
