Bengt Rodehav commented on CAMEL-3309:
--------------------------------------
I got another idea Claus. I still prefer the two configuration options I wrote
about (enable/disable changing of directory and enable/disable stepwise). But,
lets put some intelligence in the option that controls the stepwise changing of
directory. Let it have three allowed values:
- enable. This would force camel to change directory stepwise.
- disable. This would force camel to change directory in one go (not stepwise).
- auto. Camel would check if the initial directory entered (the home directory)
is reported as "/" or not. If yes, then stepwise would be enabled otherwise it
would be disabled. This option would be the default and I think that it would
very rarely need to be overridden.
What do you think?

> 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
> Assignee: Claus Ibsen
> Attachments: camel-ftp.patch

>
> 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.
