Batch Size *Batch Size500The maximum number of FlowFiles to send in a single connection
Connection Timeout *Connection Timeout30 secAmount of time to wait before timing out while creating a connection
Data Timeout *Data Timeout30 secWhen transferring a file between the local and remote system, this value specifies how long is allowed to elapse without any data being transferred between systems
Conflict Resolution *Conflict ResolutionNONE
  • REPLACE

  • REJECT
  • FAIL
  • NONE
Determines how to handle the problem of filename collisions
Dot RenameDot Renametrue

Temporary FilenameTemporary FilenameIf set, the filename of the sent file will be equal to the value specified during the transfer and after successful completion will be renamed to the original filename. If this value is set, the Dot Rename property is ignored.

Last Modified TimeLast Modified TimeThe lastModifiedTime to assign to the file after transferring it. If not set, the lastModifiedTime will not be changed. Format must be yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ. You may also use expression language such as ${file.lastModifiedTime}. If the value is invalid, the processor will not be invalid but will fail to change lastModifiedTime of the file.

PermissionsPermissionsThe permissions to assign to the file after transferring it. Format must be either UNIX rwxrwxrwx with a - in place of denied permissions (e.g. rw-r--r--) or an octal number (e.g. 644). If not set, the permissions will not be changed.

Dynamic Properties

NameValueDescription
pre.cmd._____Not usedThe command specified in the key will be executed before doing a put. You may add these optional properties to send any commands to the FTP server before the file is actually transferred (before the put command). This option is only available for the PutFTP processor, as only FTP has this functionality. This is essentially the same as sending quote commands to an FTP server from the command line. While this is the same as sending a quote command, it is very important that you leave off the .

Supports Expression Language: No
