title: FTP/SFTP Filename Pattern Support
description: How to use wildcard filename patterns for FTP/SFTP import sources in Shopware 6, enabling automatic detection of timestamped files.
---

Import jobs can now detect files using **filename patterns**, not just exact names.

## Workflow

1. Configure **FTP/SFTP** as the data source.
2. Set the import directory path, for example: `/fullupdate/`
3. Define a filename pattern using `*`, for example: `shopware_6_import_file_*.csv`

## How It Works

- All files matching the pattern are detected.
- If multiple files match, **only the most recently modified file is processed**.

## Result

Timestamped files like `shopware_6_import_file_2026-01-07--11-53-00.csv` are handled automatically without manual renaming.
