-----------------------------------------------------------------
[~cr4g5] and [~divija21] I'm not sure that a new create directory strategy
should be added. Creating a directory may often require additional privileges
that the NiFi process may not have, leading to failures. This type of failure
is more challenging, because it indicates that the fetch operation worked, but
the move did not. This needs some design consideration before moving to
implementation.

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement

> In the current `FetchFile` Processor (as of version 2.7.0), when setting the
> completion strategy to "Move File" there is no option to be able to create
> the directory if it does not exist. This is a screenshot from the `FetchSFTP`
> processor with the desired functionality:
> !image-2026-08-13-10-18-33-653.png!
>
> Would it be possible for this to also be the case for `FetchFile` when the
> completion strategy is set to "Move File".
