Andreas Persson commented on VFS-368:
-------------------------------------
The same is true for ftps. (But not for ftp, unless the patch in VFS-265 is
accepted.)
(Note that the behavior was changed: before the patch in VFS-264 the default
value for UserDirIsRoot in sftp actually was false. I found that a bit strange,
as VFS-264 was about ftps, not sftp. I asked the author of that patch if the
sftp change was intentional, and indeed it wasn't, see
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/commons-dev/201101.mbox/%3c1DCE895F45843C42B615CA046BA82158142CA258DB@walle%3e.
No action was made in spite of this, so VFS 2.0 shipped with UserDirIsRoot
default true for sftp and ftps, but false for ftp.)

> Key: VFS-368
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-368
> Project: Commons VFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Brendan Long
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: sftp
>
> On this documentation page:
> http://commons.apache.org/vfs/filesystems.html#SFTP
> It says:
> SFTP
> Provides access to the files on an SFTP server (that is, an SSH or SCP
> server).
> URI Format
> sftp://[ username[: password]@] hostname[: port][ absolute-path]
> Examples
> sftp://myusername:mypassword@somehost/pub/downloads/somefile.tgz
> The default is actually that the path is relative from the user's home
> directory. This can be changed by running:
> SftpFileSystemConfigBuilder
> .getInstance()
> .setUserDirIsRoot(options, false);
> I suggest changing the documentation to say [ relative-path ] and adding a
> note about absolute paths (but I'm not sure how to make it fit the style of
> this page).
