Description

When using FetchFTP or FetchSFTP with "Completion Strategy" "Move" files it allows you to specify a directory that files are moved to.

The directory to move files to has to exist for the files to be moved there. But it will be useful if fetch FTP processors create a directory using some attribute data, so that processed files are moved into a folder called:
"processed/${year}/${month}/${day}"

Currently with this format, the system creates an exception "FileNotFound" which actually appears to be referring to the destination directory not being found.
