Properties:

In the list below, the names of required properties appear in bold. Anyother properties (not in bold) are considered optional. The table also indicates any default values, whether a property supports the NiFi Expression Language (or simply EL), and whether a property is considered "sensitive", meaning that its value will be encrypted. Before entering a value in a sensitive property, ensure that the nifi.properties file has an entry for the property nifi.sensitive.props.key.

Name	Description	Default	Values	EL
Hostname	The fully qualified hostname or IP address of the remote system			Yes
Port	The port that the remote system is listening on for file transfers	21		No
Username	Username			No
Password	Password for the user account			No
Connection Mode	The FTP Connection Mode	Passive	Active Passive	No
Transfer Mode	The FTP Transfer Mode	Binary	Binary ASCII	No
Remote Path	The path on the remote system from which to pull or push files			Yes
File Filter Regex	Provides a Java Regular Expression for filtering Filenames; if a filter is supplied, only files whose names match that Regular Expression will be fetched			No
Path Filter Regex	When Search Recursively is true, then only subdirectories whose path matches the given Regular Expression will be scanned			No
Polling Interval	Determines how long to wait between fetching the listing for new files	60 sec		No
Search Recursively	If true, will pull files from arbitrarily nested subdirectories; otherwise, will not traverse subdirectories	false	true false	No
Ignore Dotted Files	If true, files whose names begin with a dot (".") will be ignored	true	true false	No
Delete Original	Determines whether or not the file is deleted from the remote system after it has been successfully transferred	true	true false	No
Connection Timeout	Amount of time to wait before timing out while creating a connection	30 sec		No
Data Timeout	Amount of time to wait before timing out while transferring data	30 sec		No
Max Selects	The maximum number of files to pull in a single connection	100		No
Remote Poll Batch Size	The value specifies how many file paths to find in a given directory on the remote system when doing a file listing. This value in general should not need to be modified but when polling against a remote system with a tremendous number of files this value can be critical. Setting this value too high can result very poor performance and setting it too low can cause the flow to be slower than normal.	5000		No
Use Natural Ordering	If true, will pull files in the order in which they are naturally listed; otherwise, the order in which the files will be pulled is not defined	false	true false	No
