      • After discussion with camel experts, It is confirmed that only relative path are supported in camel-ftp components. As earlier there was support for absolute but it caused too much problems for some people with something working and not working. Also its not a good security model to allow absolute file access over FTP.
      • But this is not documented with http://camel.apache.org/ftp2.html. This would be helpful for users.
      • If people really want a ftp user to access some path outside the FTP folder, then use symlinks and so on.
      • It is expected that document should cleary say that absoulte path is not recommended when using camel-ftp component.
