Joe Witt commented on NIFI-16192:
---------------------------------
I recommend just using PutFile to place a copy of the file where desired.
Local file permissions are a fun mess as David notes. Though it is annoying
for a user for us to be inconsistent here between FetchFile and FetchSFTP. I
was about to make an argument they're different due to permissions reasons -
but that isn't really true.
This use case pattern can be quite common. I could see why this is useful.

> In the current `FetchFile` Processor (as of version 2.7.0), when setting the
> completion strategy to "Move File" there is no option to be able to create
> the directory if it does not exist. This is a screenshot from the `FetchSFTP`
> processor with the desired functionality:

> Would it be possible for this to also be the case for `FetchFile` when the
> completion strategy is set to "Move File".
