did you see the issues I've linked to? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-8828 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-8844 I agree they are not detailed, but they illustrate some of the issues users were facing with absolute paths > I am trying to use the ftp component to retrieve files from a remote host. > I use an idempotent repository with the noop=true setting for the consumer. > In this way the remote host is only accessed in a read-only manner. > > Does the issue with absolute paths have to do with renaming files after > processing on the remote host?

Possibly if noop=true is set? I think that ship has sailed with 2.16, I was not around for the discussion on it, perhaps one of the committers from that period could shade more light. But I believe that the stance not to support absolute paths will remain in the future, from what I gather these were just one of many issues that in the end resulted in not supporting absolute paths. zoran -- Zoran Regvart
