Greg,

when you can use the MGET to retrieve the file to a local
directory where its name is still unique, you could then
use a wildcarded Posix mv to rename it.

For example, to rename a file DATA???? to MYFILE...

  :xeq /bin/sh "-c 'mv DATA???? MYFILE'"

Should work as long as DATA???? only matches 1 filename.
But this might be achieved by using a dedicated (empty)
subdirectory for the file transfer step.

Lars.
