Polling. FTP doesn't have a watch feature. – user207421 Jul 21 '20 at 09:45
can we download newly added files from particular directory in FTP? – Shobha H N Jul 21 '20 at 09:50

FTP does not support this natively. Hence you do one of the following:

write a short script to watch the directory and send an email/notification (just a few lines Python)
use an existing module, aka pywatch
use an orchestration operator such as Airflow sensor, if your files are part of a larger process and you want to trigger jobs when the files arrive
