After file is being read from ftp/sftp, will the file be deleted or moved to different folder or stays there itself in Mule Soft four

In MuleSoft 4, the behavior of the file after reading from FTP/SFTP depends on the configuration you set in your flow. Here are the three main options:

1. File stays in the same place:

• This is the default behavior. If you don't explicitly configure any post-processing for the file, it will remain in the same folder on the FTP/SFTP server after being read.

2. File is deleted:

• You can use the delete operation of the FTP or SFTP connector to remove the file after reading it. This can be useful for cleaning up after processing completed files.

3. File is moved to a different folder:

• You can use the move operation of the FTP or SFTP connector to transfer the file to a different location on the server after reading it. This can be useful for archiving processed files or storing them in a separate location for further processing.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

• The specific configurations and options available might differ slightly between the FTP and SFTP connectors. Refer to the official MuleSoft documentation for the latest details:

• FTP connector: https://docs.mulesoft.com/ftp-connector/latest/

• SFTP connector: https://docs.mulesoft.com/sftp-connector/latest/sftp-documentation

• You can also configure the connectors to handle file locking to prevent other processes from modifying the file while it is being read by your Mule flow.

• For advanced scenarios, you might consider using custom Java code within your Mule flow for more granular control over file processing.

I hope this clarifies the options for handling files after reading them from FTP/SFTP in MuleSoft 4. If you have any further questions or need more specific guidance, feel free to provide more details about your use case and desired behavior.
