Files transferred using Package Transfer retains GUID applied during staging

[zentron]

When the package transfer step runs, it simply copies the file from the staging directory uploaded during the package acquisition phase.

A result of this is that the guid that is applied as a prefix is retained on the file name. This guid is added to the package name during acquisition to ensure that there are no clashes with existing files that have been previously staged.

Whilst most software sees file extensions as irrelevant, this can be a problem for some Windows based programs which expect the original extension.
