Bengt Rodehav commented on CAMEL-3309:
--------------------------------------
I must say I strongly disagree Claus. For the stepwise CD to work, the
following must be true:
- The user's home directory is reported as "/" by the ftp server...
- ...OR the user is given access rights to all intermediate folders down to the
home folder
The first prerequisite is probably rather common but nowhere near 100%,
probably far less. The second prerequisite must be very unusual and more
regarded as something missed by the ftp server administrator.
Add the fact that the implementation of the stepwise CD doesn't always work on
Windows servers (or maybe just not on Serv-U, I don't really know), I think
this is not a good default configuration. I would guess that the problems
solved by stepwise CD are far less than the problems introduced.
Nevertheless, if there is a workaround via a configuration property I can
accept (although I don't agree) that stepwise CD is the default. Remember that
introducing this in Camel 2.5 actually did break code in Camel 2.4 regardless
of how things were implemented in Camel 1.x.
Also, I would suggest you add a note on the documentation page about those two
requisites above.
For me this is a critical showstopper, having it marked as an improvement is no
good. Waiting for Camel 2.6 is not good enough either. Will you release a 2.5.1
in the near future?

> Key: CAMEL-3309
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-3309
> Project: Apache Camel
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: camel-ftp
> Affects Versions: 2.5.0
> Reporter: Bengt Rodehav
>
> 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.
