Author Can FTP Adapter check a dir for new files, retrieve them, but leave them undeleted?

Hello,
I'm designing a system to do the following:

1. Monitor a location on an FTP server. If a new file (these are text
files) is added to that location, get a copy of that file, BUT leave
the file there (other users need to have access to the file).

2. Change the filename. (There may possibly be a need to modify the
contents of the text file, but leave that for later)

3. Send the newly named file to an FTP location.

I think Biztalk 2004 can do #3. I'm not entirely sure it can do #2,
though I suspect it can. However, I'm coming to the conclusion that it
can't do #1. It seems to be able to poll an FTP server (though
documentation on this is sadly lacking), but it always seems to want to
delete the file.

Does anyone have any information on how to setup the FTP Adapter to
monitor a dir. on an FTP server? Can an FTP Adapter be configured to
leave the file after grabbing it?

Thank you!
Trevor
