Processing
Each file capture by the input is sent down through the process, one at a time. When the file is
finished, the process goes back to the input which feeds another file down, as long as there are
files in the queue. Once all the files are gone, the task polls the FTPfolder again to see if new
files are present and, if so, the process continues with these files. Otherwise, the process ends.
Output
The output to this task is a series of individual files, one after the other. These files are not
modified in any way from when they are captured from the source FTPserver.
