    Processor Configurations
    org.apache.nifi.processors.standard.ListFTP
    The "Hostname" property should be set to the fully qualified hostname of the FTP Server. It's a good idea to parameterize     this property by setting it to something like `#{FTP_SERVER}`.
The "Remote Path" property must be set to the directory on the FTP Server where the files reside. If the flow being built is to be reused elsewhere,     it's a good idea to parameterize this property by setting it to something like `#{FTP_REMOTE_PATH}`.
Configure the "Username" property to the appropriate username for logging into the FTP Server. It's usually a good idea to parameterize this property     by setting it to something like `#{FTP_USERNAME}`.
Configure the "Password" property to the appropriate password for the provided username. It's usually a good idea to parameterize this property     by setting it to something like `#{FTP_PASSWORD}`.

The 'success' Relationship of this Processor is then connected to FetchFTP.
    org.apache.nifi.processors.standard.FetchFTP
    "Hostname" = "${ftp.remote.host}"
"Remote File" = "${path}/${filename}"
"Username" = "${ftp.listing.user}"
"Password" = "#{FTP_PASSWORD}"
