# Ftp Consumer
A consumer that allows you to ftp files.
The consumer uses the `FtpMessageHandler` from Spring Integration.
## Beans for injection
The `FtpConsumerConfiguration` auto-configuration provides the following bean:
`Consumer<Message<?>> ftpConsumer`
You can use `ftpConsumer` as a qualifier when injecting.
## Configuration Options
All configuration properties are prefixed with `ftp.consumer`.
For more information on the various options available, please see link:src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/fn/consumer/ftp/FtpConsumerProperties.java[FtpConsumerProperties].
A `ComponentCustomizer<FtpMessageHandlerSpec>` bean can be added in the target project to provide any custom options for the `FtpMessageHandlerSpec` configuration used by the `ftpConsumer`.
