Stepwise change of directory unfit for production (ftp/ftps/sftp)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CAMEL-3309
URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-3309
Project: Apache Camel
Issue Type: Bug
Components: camel-ftp
Affects Versions: 2.5.0
Reporter: Bengt Rodehav
Priority: Critical
In Camel 2.5, the logic for changing directory for ftp/ftps/sftp has changed in
order to fix the problems discussed in the following thread:
http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/How-to-change-directory-while-using-sftp-component-td2806817.html#a2807611
In Camel 2.5 changing of the remote directory is now done in a stepwise manner.
This is a strategy not fit for production since it assumes that the logged in
ftp/ftps/sftp user has access to all intermediate directories all the way down
to its home directory. This is rarely the case.
Also, when testing ftp/sftp on Serv-U, a Windows based ftp/ftps/sftp server, it
turns out that it reports the current directory in a "Windows way", e g
/C:/temp/servu/user/sample/file2sftp. The topmost folder is not "/" but "/C:".
This also breaks the new stepwise way of changing directory since it always
tries to change to "/" if an absolute path is used.
I propose to introduce a configuration property to enable/disable stepwise
changing of directories where disabling it should be the default. I will upload
a patch shortly.
