I want to send a file in a HTTP POST request and then have Mule upload the file to a file directory on a server using FTP. It looks like the FTP connector saves the payload to the file directory but this is coming through as null and an empty file is written to the directory by FTP.
I've had some success with binary/octet stream as the media type in the raml and http request using Postman but the file doesn't open and looks like it may be corrupted and when I use form-data as the media type in the raml and http request it shows as a key value pair in message.inboundAttachments but how do I get the FTP connector to write from inboundAttachments. I have tried setting it as the payload which shows as an javax object but has problems when writing it to the file directory. How can I do this and what is the best approach to take? Files would be files >= 1 and could be different file types. I'm currently just testing it with one file.
Also, when the file is written is is named 28f42420-b325-11e7-8ffb-dcb320524153.dat. How can I specify the name as it looks like message.inboundProperties.originalFilename is null?
I'm using Anypoint Studio 6.2 and Mule 3.8.3 and Postman to make the http calls as Mule console does not appear to give the option to send a file in the request.
