Representation of File Attributes
Mule 4 provides a message structure of a payload and attributes in which the data moves around, making that payload file content. The attributes provide an object that contains metadata on the payload and information such as the file’s name, path, size, and timestamps. For FTP Connector and SFTP Connector, these attributes are named file attributes.
The Mule message specifies the encoding and MIME type, which describe the format in which a payload is represented. The file attributes describe a file’s encoding and MIME type.
