Hi @nononame2021 ,

In SSIS it is usually done by using File System Task.

Hi @nononame2021 ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Yes, you could rename file name by using File system task, like YitzhakKhabinsky-0887 mentioned. Please refer to below details:
FullFilePath Expression: @[User::FilePath]+"\\"+@[User::FileName]

RenameFilePath Expression:

@[User::FilePath] + "\\" +  
SUBSTRING(@[User::FileName], 1, FINDSTRING(@[User::FileName],".",1) -1 ) + (DT_WSTR,4)YEAR(GETDATE()) + (DT_WSTR,2)MONTH(GETDATE()) + (DT_WSTR,2)DAY(GETDATE()) +   
SUBSTRING(@[User::FileName], FINDSTRING(@[User::FileName],".",1), LEN(@[User::FileName]))
