Hi Neil, Maybe try to connect via SFTP since there is no data timeout value for it (under "timeout" option : For SFTP there is no data timeout.) http://camel.apache.org/ftp2.html
Hope this helps!

My program essentially does the following: 1. Downloads file from FTP server 2. Saves a copy of the file (for auditing purposes) 3. Does some additional (time consuming) processing on the data Therefore my code is like: from("ftp://myserver/toProcess?move=processed";) .to("file://recievedData") .to("direct://additionalProcessing"); I use the "move" option on the FTP component to move the file after processing so it will not be processed again. My problem is often by the time the processing (step 3) has completed the FTP connection is closed, so the file can not be moved resulting in the following exception stack trace: org.apache.camel.component.file.GenericFileOperationFailedException: File operation failed: null Connection is not open. Code: 221 at org.apache.camel.component.file.remote.FtpOperations.buildDirectory(FtpOperations.java:290) at org.apache.camel.component.file.strategy.GenericFileProcessStrategySupport.renameFile(GenericFileProcessStrategySupport.java:106) at org.apache.camel.component.file.strategy.GenericFileRenameProcessStrategy.commit(GenericFileRenameProcessStrategy.java:88) at org.apache.camel.component.file.GenericFileOnCompletion.processStrategyCommit(GenericFileOnCompletion.java:124) at org.apache.camel.component.file.GenericFileOnCompletion.onCompletion(GenericFileOnCompletion.java:80) at org.apache.camel.component.file.GenericFileOnCompletion.onComplete(GenericFileOnCompletion.java:54) at org.apache.camel.util.UnitOfWorkHelper.doneSynchronizations(UnitOfWorkHelper.java:100) at org.apache.camel.impl.DefaultUnitOfWork.done(DefaultUnitOfWork.java:228) at org.apache.camel.util.UnitOfWorkHelper.doneUow(UnitOfWorkHelper.java:61) at org.apache.camel.processor.CamelInternalProcessor$UnitOfWorkProcessorAdvice.after(CamelInternalProcessor.java:613) at org.apache.camel.processor.CamelInternalProcessor$UnitOfWorkProcessorAdvice.after(CamelInternalProcessor.java:581) at org.apache.camel.processor.CamelInternalProcessor$InternalCallback.done(CamelInternalProcessor.java:240) at org.apache.camel.impl.MDCUnitOfWork$MDCCallback.done(MDCUnitOfWork.java:205) at org.apache.camel.processor.Pipeline.process(Pipeline.java:106) at org.apache.camel.processor.CamelInternalProcessor.process(CamelInternalProcessor.java:191) at org.apache.camel.component.seda.SedaConsumer.sendToConsumers(SedaConsumer.java:291) at org.apache.camel.component.seda.SedaConsumer.doRun(SedaConsumer.java:200) at org.apache.camel.component.seda.SedaConsumer.run(SedaConsumer.java:147) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722) Caused by: java.io.IOException: Connection is not open at org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP.sendCommand(FTP.java:474) at org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP.sendCommand(FTP.java:608) at org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP.sendCommand(FTP.java:582) at org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP.pwd(FTP.java:1454) at org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient.printWorkingDirectory(FTPClient.java:2658) at org.apache.camel.component.file.remote.FtpOperations.buildDirectory(FtpOperations.java:267) ... 20 more Therefore my thinking was I can just restructure the code so the file is moved on the FTP server after I've saved a copy of it. I hoped I would be able to achieve this by putting in a SEDA component: from("ftp://myserver/toProcess?move=processed";) .to("file://recievedData") .to("seda://dataQueue") from("seda://dataQueue") .to("direct://additionalProcessing") However this does not achieve what I want. The file will still not be renamed on the FTP server until "additionalProcessing" completes. I tried setting the SEDA component options "waitForTaskToComplete=Never" and "exchangePattern=InOnly" in the hope that this may help but it doesn't. I thought of 2 ideas how I can achieve what I want (with my current understanding of Camel), but I don't think either is the correct solution (and I have not tested either yet). Solution 1 is to divide it into 2 routes and write it to a temporary location: from("ftp://myserver/toProcess?move=processed";) .to("file://tempLocation"); from("file://tempLocation") .to("file://recievedData") .to("direct://aditionalProcessing") This seems wrong as it adds the extra IO overhead. Solution 2 is to use wiretap EIP as follows: from("ftp://myserver/toProcess?move=processed";) .to("file://recievedData") .wiretap("direct:additionalProcessing"); However I keep getting the feeling the above solution would be a misuse of the wiretap EIP. Does any one have any idea what the correct way to do this in Camel would be? Thanks in advance for any advice any one can give me. Neil
