I supposed you could. The business class for it is PFIChannel. You should be able to use a Landmark Transaction Node to update it.

_dataArea="<!appProdline>" & _module="pfi" & _objectName="PfiReceiver" & _actionName="Create" & _actionOperator="NONE" & _actionType="CreateUpdateDelete" & _runAsUser="" & _authenticatedUser="" & _pageSize="30" & _relationName="" & _setName="" & _asOfDate="" & _effectiveDate="" & PfiChannel="<!createFileChannel_PfiChannel>" & PfiReceiver="Invoices" & Description="Get All Invoices" & FileReceiver.FileName="*" & PfiFlowDefinition="InvoiceImportFileChannel" & FileReceiver.Data="1" & StartupType="1"

1 = Auto
2 = Manual

Above is a Node I use part of a flow I use to Sync File Channels with a list, so I can Delete all Invoice File Channels and this will re-add or add new ones if needed.

This creates the receiver as an Auto Startup.

Just as a side note, did you set the Startup Type on the File Receiver to be Manual?

If you are designing an enable/disable flow some additional considerations....

Before disabling, record all file channels that are currently active and save them in a variable/file/etc in case your "Enable" flow wants to make sure all the appropriate receivers are activated when you re-enable them.

Assuming this functionality would be used pre and post patch/upgrade; knowing what to start back up would be good.
