< li > < strong > @h< / strong >
The < strong > @h< / strong > replacement macro uses the hostname configured with the Tasomta Wifi < code > Hostname < host> < / code > command (defaults to < code > %s-%04d< / code > ). It will not use the network hostname of your device because this is not available when working with files only (e.g. < code > --file < filename> < / code > as source).
To prevent having a useless % in your filename, < strong > @h< / strong > will not replaced by configuration data hostname if this contains ' %' characters.< / li >
< li > < strong > @H< / strong >
If you want to use the network hostname within your filename, use the < strong > @H< / strong > replacement macro instead - but be aware this will only replaced if you are using a network device as source (< code > -d< / code > , < code > --device< / code > , < code > --host< / code > ); it will not work when using a file as source (< code > -f< / code > , < code > --file< / code > )< / li >
