The document discusses using the File connector in Anypoint Studio to exchange files between a Mule application and file system. The File connector can be used as an inbound or outbound endpoint and implements a one-way exchange pattern. An example configuration is provided to poll a directory for files, read the file contents, and write the contents to the logs.

1. Basic Example using
FILE Connector in
Anypoint Studio
Prudhvi

2.  The File connector allows your Mule
application to exchange files with a file system.
You can implement the File connector as an
inbound endpoint or as an outbound endpoint.
 This endpoint implements a one-way exchange
pattern only.

Note: Auto Delete is optional

6. Prudhvi
Set the PATH . If the file is needed set MOVE TO DIRECTORY also.
Set your required polling frequency and age

7. Prudhvi
To know what is coming ,we are printing the payload.

8. Prudhvi
No need to configure in this flow as the flow is sending a plain text.
We need to configure the MIME Type as Text/Plain .

9. Prudhvi
Here to print the payload.
Here the payload will be the characters in text file as we are converting
byte to string by using transformer.

10. Prudhvi
After running the application , Place this file in the path defined .
The application will poll the file as per the polling frequency.

Successfully reading the file is completed as in the file the logger printed
