Hi,

Is requirement to pick the latest file only or pick all the files in the sequence (starting from the latest one) ?

1. If your requirement is to pick latest file only: then you can write a OS script in "Run Operating System command before processing" under Processing tab. This will make sure that you only pick the latest file.

2. If you have to read all the files in sequence: then you can use the option in sender file adapter called "Processing sequence set as By Date". FYI, In this mode file adapter will read the oldest file first
