Camel SFTP Endpoint not Uploading File

Question

I am trying to use the camel-ftp endpoint (specifically the sftp module) to upload a newly produced CSV file.

The relevant portion of my route is as follows:

...
<marshal>
    <csv></csv>
</marshal>
<to uri="file:incoming?tempPrefix=.&amp;fileName=feed.csv" />
<to uri="sftp://username@linuxserver/home/username/file.csv?password=password" />
...

Note: the "file" at

incoming/feed.csv

is created successfully, camel's last few lines of output read:

[DefaultQuartzScheduler-camel_Worker-1] INFO org.apache.camel.component.file.remote.SftpOperations - JSCH -> Authentication succeeded (password). 
[DefaultQuartzScheduler-camel_Worker-1] INFO org.apache.camel.component.file.remote.SftpOperations - Connected to sftp://username@linuxserver:22 
[DefaultQuartzScheduler-camel_Worker-1] INFO org.apache.camel.component.file.remote.RemoteFileProducer - Connected and logged in to: Endpoint[sftp://username@linuxserver/home/username/file.csv?password=xxxxxx]

But there is no

/home/username/file.csv

on linuxserver.

Note:

I have the same results when I configure my sftp rout as either of the following:

<to uri="sftp://username@linuxserver/home/username/?password=password" />

or

<to uri="sftp://username@linuxserver/home/username?password=password" />

What am I missing?

Answer 1

When the directory part of the URI is present, like in:

<to uri="sftp://username@linuxserver/home/username/?password=password" />

a file is placed in a directory relative to user home dir (~username/home/username in this case) - so when you want to place a file in the user home dir directly do not specify directory at all - use:

<to uri="sftp://username@linuxserver?password=password" />

When you want to place a file outside the home directory use double slash to separate hostname from directory:

<to uri="sftp://username@linuxserver//home/username/?password=password" />

Checked using camel 2.10.7. Set trace for logger org.apache.camel.component.file.remote.SftpOperations to verify behaviour.

@Olivier.Roger - ftps != sftp

Answer 2

The sftp endpoint should be specified as

ftps://[username@]hostname[:port]/directoryname[?options]

So the filename should ne be specified in the URI. You can choose a filename using the CamelFileName header.

You can find additonal information in the FTP Component documentation.
