Yes It does keep polling one by one. Poller Snap polls the target directory and looks for file names matching the specified pattern. It keeps on polling at the Polling Interval property until the polling timeout is reached.The Snap returns all paths that matches the File Filter Pattern.

“path”: “ftp://XX.XX.XX.XX/HousingPhotos1_FullFeed.zip”
“path”: “ftp://XX.XX.XX.XX/HousingPhotos1_FullFeed.zip”
“path”: “ftp://XX.XX.XX.XX/HousingPhotos1_FullFeed.zip”
You can do a Split on the path and pass that to the File Reader Snap.
Split Function
$path.split(‘/’)[$path.split(‘/’).length-1].toString()
Hope this helps.
What would the file reader use to read the file from the Poller. Because my pipeline keeps having errors cause I don’t know what the file name/variable needs to be to read it in the File Reader
You can directly pass the $path to the File Reader snap and read the data. Make Sure you have the Account selected in the Account Tab. Please post the error and sample pipeline for reference. Thank you.
