Requesting for comment on pros, cons and security implication.

[~soumya.ghosh] Could you please provide a real life usecase for this feature? 
can we go for a limited number of SFTP hosts? Opening this feature for all 
hosts / unlimited unique sftp hosts could become a stepping stone for DDoS 
attack.

>             Project: Apache NiFi
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
>            Reporter: Soumya Shanta Ghosh
>            Assignee: Puspendu Banerjee
>            Priority: Critical
>
> ListSFTP supports listing of the supplied directory (Remote Path) 
> out-of-the-box on the supplied "Hostname" using the 'Username" and 'Password" 
> / "Private Key Passphrase". 
> The password can change at a regular interval (depending on organization 
> policy) or the Hostname or the Remote Path can change based on some other 
> requirement.
> This is a case to allow ListSFTP to leverage the use of Nifi Expression 
> language so that the values of Hostname, Password and/or Remote Path can be 
> set based on the attributes of an incoming flow file.
