Error when creating multiple file transfer flows in mule

Question

I have a need to have three different scheduled jobs for picking up and transferring files to an SFTP server. Using examples I was able to create a single working flow. However, when I replicate that flow and adjust the configuration, I get an error complaining about 2 connectors matching protocol file.

It asks me to specify these, however, I have specified which endpoint should be used for each flow.

Does anyone have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong, or what Mule is looking for?

Flow definitions:

<file:endpoint name="partsDataConnector" path="${partsDataOriginFilePath}" pollingFrequency="5000" doc:name="partsDataFile"/>

<flow name="partsDataTransfer">

    <quartz:inbound-endpoint jobName="partsDataTransfer"
                             repeatInterval="10000" responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="Quartz">

        <quartz:endpoint-polling-job>
            <quartz:job-endpoint ref="partsDataConnector"/>
        </quartz:endpoint-polling-job>
    </quartz:inbound-endpoint>
    <sftp:outbound-endpoint host="${destinationFileServerIp}" port="${destinationFileServerPort}"
                            path="${partsDataDestinationPath}" tempDir="${partsDataDestinationTempDir}"
                            user="${destinationFileServerUser}" password="${destinationFileServerPassword}"
                            outputPattern="#[header:originalFilename]" />
</flow>

<file:endpoint name="imageDataConnector" path="${imageDataOriginFilePath}" pollingFrequency="5000" doc:name="partsDataFile"/>

<flow name="imageDataTransfer">
    <quartz:inbound-endpoint jobName="imageDataTransfer"
                             repeatInterval="10000" responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="Quartz">

        <quartz:endpoint-polling-job>
            <quartz:job-endpoint ref="imageDataConnector"/>
        </quartz:endpoint-polling-job>
    </quartz:inbound-endpoint>
    <sftp:outbound-endpoint host="${destinationFileServerIp}" port="${destinationFileServerPort}"
                            path="${imageDataDestinationPath}" tempDir="${imageDataDestinationTempDir}"
                            user="${destinationFileServerUser}" password="${destinationFileServerPassword}"
                            outputPattern="#[header:originalFilename]" />
</flow>

<file:endpoint name="customerDataConnector" path="${customerDataOriginFilePath}" pollingFrequency="5000" doc:name="partsDataFile"/>

<flow name="customerDataTransfer">
    <quartz:inbound-endpoint jobName="customerDataTransfer"
                             repeatInterval="10000" responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="Quartz">

        <quartz:endpoint-polling-job>
            <quartz:job-endpoint ref="customerDataConnector" />
        </quartz:endpoint-polling-job>
    </quartz:inbound-endpoint>
    <sftp:outbound-endpoint host="${destinationFileServerIp}" port="${destinationFileServerPort}"
                            path="${customerDataDestinationPath}" tempDir="${customerDataDestinationTempDir}"
                            user="${destinationFileServerUser}" password="${destinationFileServerPassword}"
                            outputPattern="#[header:originalFilename]" />
</flow>

Did you define multiple file connectors in your configuration? Because the error shown above mentions that there are two file connectors. — user1760178

The error message is asking you to declare explicit file:connector components. Now you have just file:endpoint components.
