Are you trying to dynamically change directory from where you want to download files ?
It seems it is not possible for to uri in ftp component. You might want to use filter which can specify the pattern to select for download . Something like ... public class MyFileFilter<T> implements GenericFileFilter<T> { public boolean accept(GenericFile<T> file) { // we only want report files String timeStr = ( System.currentTimeMillis() + "" ).substring(8); // You can decide how your string will be compiled. String filePath = file.getAbsoluteFilePath(); return filePath.contains(timeStr); } } Regards Ravi +91 98 509 760 91 VNET: 206830 iThink : https://c2blogs.cognizant.com/blogs/115750/ -----Original Message----- From: npayaresc [mailto:nicolas.paya...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2014 11:05 PM To: users@camel.apache.org Subject: how to set up ftp remote directory dynamically hello, I am trying to set up my ftp cleint connection in Spring DSL like: <route routePolicyRef="myPolicy" id="pcrf-ftp-server-berlin-now-3" autoStartup="true"> <from uri="ftp://localhost/${bean:timeItervallToDownload?method=getOneDayBeforeYesterday}?username=test&password=test&stepwise=false&delay=2000&move=${file:name}.trans&recursive=true&binary=true&filter=#doneFilter&maxMessagesPerPoll=3500&eagerMaxMessagesPerPoll=false&sorter=#pcrfSorter" /> <onCompletion> <process ref="startPcrfFtpBerlinRoute-now-2"></process> </onCompletion> <multicast> <to uri="file://C:/temp/outputfile/pcrf_files_postpaid" /> <log message="Downloaded file ${file:name} complete."></log> </multicast> </route> Unfortunatelly without success.
