Prime 2.1 CLI-Template Copy to FTP

Question

Hello everybody,
I want to write a CLI-Template to save the startup-config to a FTP-Server. So here ist my template:
#MODE_ENABLE
#INTERACTIVE
copy running-config ftp: <IQ>remote host<R>$ftpserver<IQ>filename<R>${IPAddress}.txt
#ENDS_INTERACTIVE
#MODE_END_ENABLE
My problem is: I want a filename, which include the hostname. Something like "switch-01-config.cfg". But I doesn't know the right way to get the hostname from a managed variable.
Finally I want to save configs from many switches to one ftp server I define.
 I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this is possible, as the script may not be able get a unique input for each device to write it to FTP server.
But there is one option, where you can run a script on PI server which can fetch configuration from database for all the devices and dump it into a directory.
You can use this latest configs to be exported to another FTP server at once.
This seem to be one of the viable option on what you're trying to achieve. I can wait for other community members to share their expert suggestions.
