Re: Biztalk 2004 - ftp adapter watching for multiple file masks

No, each receive location will operate independently and poll for files with
the extension you set. I currently have FILE receive location polling for
new .txt files and an FTP receive location polling for .810 files. Both
files are the same schema but with different extensions. The FTP receive
location is the primary and the FILE receive location is my backup and
resubmit area.
