In the list below, the names of required properties appear in bold. Any other properties (not in bold) are considered optional. The table also indicates any default values, whether a property supports the Expression Language Guide, 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.

* false
Determines whether or not Zero-byte files should be rejected without attempting to transfer

If true, then the filename of the sent file is prepended with a "." and then renamed back to the original once the file is completely sent. Otherwise, there is no rename. This property is ignored if the Temporary Filename property is set.
Temporary Filename If 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 Time The 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.
Supports Expression Language: true
Permissions The 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).
