Chapter 53. FTP2
FTP/SFTP Component
This component provides access to remote file systems over the FTP and SFTP protocols.
Consuming from remote FTP server
Make sure you read the section titled Default when consuming files further below for details related to consuming files.
Note
Absolute path is not supported. Camel 2.16 translates an absolute path to relative by trimming all leading slashes from
directoryname
. A WARN message will be printed in the logs.
Camel on EAP deployment
This component is supported by the Camel on EAP (Wildfly Camel) framework, which offers a simplified deployment model on the Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) container. For details of this model, see chapter "Apache Camel on JBoss EAP" in "Deploying into a Web Server".
URI format
ftp://[username@]hostname[:port]/directoryname[?options] sftp://[username@]hostname[:port]/directoryname[?options] ftps://[username@]hostname[:port]/directoryname[?options]
Where directoryname represents the underlying directory. Can contain nested folders. The directory name is a relative path. Absolute paths are not supported. The relative path can contain nested folders—for example,
/inbox/us
. For Camel 2.16, the autoCreate
option is supported. When a consumer starts (and before polling is scheduled), the specified directory is created automatically. The default value of autoCreate
is true
.
If no username is provided, then
anonymous
login is attempted using no password. If no port number is provided, Apache Camel will provide default values according to the protocol (ftp = 21, sftp = 22, ftps = 21).
This component uses two different libraries for the actual FTP work. FTP and FTPS use Apache Commons Net while SFTP uses JCraft JSCH.
You can append query options to the URI in the following format,
?option=value&option=value&...
URI Options
The options below are exclusive to the FTP component:
Name | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|
username
|
null
|
Specifies the username to use to log in to the remote file systen. |
password
|
null
|
Specifies the password to use to log in to the remote file system. |
account
|
null
|
Camel 2.15.2: Specifies the account to use to login to the remote FTP server (only for FTP and FTP Secure). |
binary
|
false
|
Specifies the file transfer mode, BINARY or ASCII. Default is ASCII (false ).
|
disconnect
|
false
|
Camel 2.2: Whether or not to disconnect from remote FTP server right after use. Can be used for both consumer and producer. Disconnect will only disconnect the current connection to the FTP server. If you have a consumer which you want to stop, then you need to stop the consumer/route instead. |
localWorkDirectory
|
null
|
When consuming, a local work directory can be used to store the remote file content directly in local files, to avoid loading the content into memory. This is beneficial, if you consume a very big remote file and thus can conserve memory. See below for more details. |
passiveMode
|
false
|
FTP only: Specifies whether to use passive mode connections. Default is active mode {false ).
|
securityProtocol
|
TLS
|
FTPS only: Sets the underlying security protocol. The following values are defined:
TLS : Transport Layer Security SSL : Secure Sockets Layer.
|
disableSecureDataChannelDefaults
|
false
|
Camel 2.4: FTPS only: Whether or not to disable using default values for execPbsz and execProt when using secure data transfer. Setting this option to true , requires that the execPbsz and execProt options are configured explicitly.
|
download
|
true
|
Camel 2.11: Whether the FTP consumer should download the file. If this option is set to false , then the message body will be null , but the consumer will still trigger a Camel Exchange that has details about the file such as file name, file size, etc. It's just that the file will not be downloaded.
|
streamDownload | false | Camel 2.11: hether the consumer should download the entire file up front, the default behavior, or if it should pass an InputStream ead from the remote resource rather than an in-memory array as the in body of the amel Exchange. his option is ignored if download s false r is localWorkDirectory is provided. his option is useful for working with large remote files. |
execProt
|
null
|
Camel 2.4: FTPS only: Will by default use option
P if secure data channel defaults hasn't been disabled. Possible values are:
|
execPbsz
|
null
|
Camel 2.4: FTPS only: This option specifies the buffer size of the secure data channel. If option useSecureDataChannel has been enabled and this option has not been explicit set, then value 0 is used.
|
isImplicit
|
false
|
FTPS only: Sets the security mode(implicit/explicit). Default is explicit (false ).
|
knownHostsFile
|
null
|
SFTP only: Sets the known_hosts file, so that the SFTP endpoint can do host key verification.
|
knownHostsUri
|
null
|
SFTP only:Camel 2.11.1: Sets the known_hosts file (loaded from classpath by default), so that the SFTP endpoint can do host key verification.
|
keyPair
|
null
|
SFTP only:Camel 2.12.0: Sets the Java KeyPair for SSH public key authentication, it supports DSA or RSA keys. |
privateKeyFile
|
null
|
SFTP only: Set the private key file to that the SFTP endpoint can do private key verification. |
privateKeyUri
|
null
|
SFTP only:Camel 2.11.1: Set the private key file (loaded from classpath by default) to that the SFTP endpoint can do private key verification. |
privateKey
|
null
|
SFTP only:Camel 2.11.1: Set the private key as byte[] to that the SFTP endpoint can do private key verification. |
privateKeyFilePassphrase
|
null
|
SFTP only: Set the private key file passphrase to that the SFTP endpoint can do private key verification. |
privateKeyPassphrase
|
null
|
SFTP only:Camel 2.11.1: Set the private key file passphrase to that the SFTP endpoint can do private key verification. |
preferredAuthentications
|
null
|
SFTP only:Camel 2.10.7, 2.11.2,2.12.0: set the preferred authentications which SFTP endpoint will used. Some example include:password,publickey. If not specified the default list from JSCH will be used. |
ciphers
|
null
|
Camel 2.8.2, 2.9: SFTP only Set a comma separated list of ciphers that will be used in order of preference. Possible cipher names are defined by JCraft JSCH. Some examples include: aes128-ctr,aes128-cbc,3des-ctr,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc. If not specified the default list from JSCH will be used. |
fastExistsCheck
|
false
|
Camel 2.8.2, 2.9: If set this option to be true, camel-ftp will use the list file directly to check if the file exists. Since some FTP server may not support to list the file directly, if the option is false, camel-ftp will use the old way to list the directory and check if the file exists. Note from Camel 2.10.1 onwards this option also influences readLock=changed to control whether it performs a fast check to update file information or not. This can be used to speed up the process if the FTP server has a lot of files.
|
strictHostKeyChecking
|
no
|
SFTP only:Camel 2.2: Sets whether to use strict host key checking. Possible values are: no , yes and ask . ask does not make sense to use as Camel cannot answer the question for you as its meant for human intervention. Note: The default in Camel 2.1 and below was ask .
|
maximumReconnectAttempts
|
3 | Specifies the maximum reconnect attempts Apache Camel performs when it tries to connect to the remote FTP server. Use 0 to disable this behavior. |
reconnectDelay
|
1000 | Delay in millis Apache Camel will wait before performing a reconnect attempt. |
connectTimeout
|
10000
|
Camel 2.4: Is the connect timeout in millis. This corresponds to using ftpClient.connectTimeout for the FTP/FTPS. For SFTP this option is also used when attempting to connect.

SFTP Only: Camel 2.15.3/2.16: The logging level to use for JSCH activity logging. As JSCH is verbose by default (at
INFO level) the threshold is set to WARN by default.
|
FTPS component default trust store
When using the
ftpClient.
properties related to SSL with the FTPS component, the trust store accept all certificates. If you only want trust selective certificates, you have to configure the trust store with the ftpClient.trustStore.xxx
options or by configuring a custom ftpClient
.
When using
sslContextParameters
, the trust store is managed by the configuration of the provided SSLContextParameters
instance.
More options
You can configure additional options on the
ftpClient
and ftpClientConfig
from the URI directly by using the ftpClient.
or ftpClientConfig.
prefix.
For example to set the
setDataTimeout
on the FTPClient
to 30 seconds you can do:
from("ftp://foo@myserver?password=secret&ftpClient.dataTimeout=30000") .to("bean:foo");
You can mix and match and have use both prefixes, for example to configure date format or timezones.
from("ftp://foo@myserver?password=secret&ftpClient.dataTimeout=30000&ftpClientConfig.serverLanguageCode=fr") .to("bean:foo");
You can have as many of these options as you like.
See the documentation of the Apache Commons FTP FTPClientConfig for possible options and more details. And as well for Apache Commons FTP FTPClient.
If you do not like having many and long configuration in the url you can refer to the
ftpClient
or ftpClientConfig
to use by letting Camel lookup in the Registry for it.
For example:
<bean id="myConfig" class="org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClientConfig"> <property name="lenientFutureDates" value="true"/> <property name="serverLanguageCode" value="fr"/> </bean>
And then let Camel lookup this bean when you use the # notation in the url.
from("ftp://foo@myserver?password=secret&ftpClientConfig=#myConfig").to("bean:foo");
More URI options
Important
See File2 as all the options there also applies for this component.
Examples
Here are some examples of FTP endpoint URIs:
ftp://someone@someftpserver.com/public/upload/images/holiday2008?password=secret&binary=true ftp://someoneelse@someotherftpserver.co.uk:12049/reports/2008/password=secret&binary=false ftp://publicftpserver.com/download
FTP Consumer does not support concurrency
The FTP consumer (with the same endpoint) does not support concurrency (the backing FTP client is not thread safe). You can use multiple FTP consumers to poll from different endpoints. It is only a single endpoint that does not support concurrent consumers.
The FTP producer does not have this issue, it supports concurrency.
More information
Default when consuming files
The FTP consumer will by default leave the consumed files untouched on the remote FTP server. You have to configure it explicit if you want it to delete the files or move them to another location. For example you can use
delete=true
to delete the files, or use move=.done
to move the files into a hidden done sub directory.
The regular File consumer is different as it will by default move files to a
.camel
sub directory. The reason Camel does not do this by default for the FTP consumer is that it may lack permissions by default to be able to move or delete files.
limitations
The option readLock can be used to force Apache Camel not to consume files that are currently in the process of being written. However, this option is turned off by default, as it requires that the user has write access. There are other solutions to avoid consuming files that are currently being written over FTP; for instance, you can write to a temporary destination and move the file after it has been written.
The ftp producer does not support appending to existing files. Any existing files on the remote server will be deleted before the file is written.
Message Headers
The following message headers can be used to affect the behavior of the component
Header | Description |
---|---|
CamelFileName
|
Specifies the output file name (relative to the endpoint directory) to be used for the output message when sending to the endpoint. If this is not present and no expression either, then a generated message ID is used as the filename instead. |
CamelFileNameProduced
|
The pathname of the output file that was written. This header is set automatically by Apache Camel. |
CamelFileBatchIndex
|
Current index out of total number of files being consumed in this batch. |
CamelFileBatchSize
|
Total number of files being consumed in this batch. |
CamelFileHost
|
The remote hostname. |
CamelFileLocalWorkPath
|
Path to the local work file, if local work directory is used. |
In addition the FTP/FTPS consumer and producer will enrich the Camel
Message
with the following headers:
Header | Description |
---|---|
CamelFtpReplyCode
|
Camel 2.11.1: The FTP client reply code (the type is a integer) |
CamelFtpReplyString
|
Camel 2.11.1: The FTP client reply string |
About timeouts
The two sets of libraries (see above) have different APIs for setting the timeout. You can use the
connectTimeout
option for both of them to set a timeout in milliseconds to establish a network connection. An individual soTimeout
can also be set on the FTP/FTPS, which corresponds to using ftpClient.soTimeout
. Notice SFTP will automatically use connectTimeout
as its soTimeout
. The timeout
option only applies for FTP/FTSP as the data timeout, which corresponds to the ftpClient.dataTimeout
value. All timeout values are in milliseconds.
Using Local Work Directory
Apache Camel supports consuming from remote FTP servers and downloading the files directly into a local work directory. This avoids reading the entire remote file content into memory as it is streamed directly into the local file using
FileOutputStream
.
Apache Camel will store to a local file with the same name as the remote file, though with
.inprogress
as extension while the file is being downloaded. Afterwards, the file is renamed to remove the .inprogress
suffix. And finally, when the Exchange is complete the local file is deleted.
So if you want to download files from a remote FTP server and store it as files then you need to route to a file endpoint such as:
from("ftp://someone@someserver.com?password=secret&localWorkDirectory=/tmp").to("file://inbox");
Optimization by renaming work file
The route above is ultra efficient as it avoids reading the entire file content into memory. It will download the remote file directly to a local file stream. The
java.io.File
handle is then used as the Exchange body. The file producer leverages this fact and can work directly on the work file java.io.File
handle and perform a java.io.File.rename
to the target filename. As Apache Camel knows it's a local work file, it can optimize and use a rename instead of a file copy, as the work file is meant to be deleted anyway.
Stepwise changing directories
Camel FTP can operate in two modes in terms of traversing directories when consuming files (for example, downloading) or producing files (for example, uploading):
- stepwise
- not stepwise
You may want to pick either one depending on your situation and security issues. Some Camel end users can only download files if they use stepwise, while others can only download if they do not. At least you have the choice to pick.
Note that stepwise changing of directory will in most cases only work when the user is confined to it's home directory and when the home directory is reported as
/
.
The difference between the two of them is best illustrated with an example. Suppose we have the following directory structure on the remote FTP server we need to traverse and download files:
/ /one /one/two /one/two/sub-a /one/two/sub-b
And that we have a file in each of
sub-a
(a.txt
) and sub-b
(b.txt
) folder.
Using stepwise=true (default mode)
The following log shows the conversation between the FTP endpoint and the remote FTP server when the FTP endpoint is operating in stepwise mode:
TYPE A 200 Type set to A PWD 257 "/" is current directory. CWD one 250 CWD successful. "/one" is current directory. CWD two 250 CWD successful. "/one/two" is current directory.

QUIT 221 Goodbye disconnected.
As you can see when stepwise is enabled, it will traverse the directory structure using CD xxx.
Using stepwise=false
The following log shows the conversation between the FTP endpoint and the remote FTP server when the FTP endpoint is operating in non-stepwise mode:
230 Logged on TYPE A 200 Type set to A SYST 215 UNIX emulated by FileZilla PORT 127,0,0,1,4,122 200 Port command successful LIST one/two 150 Opening data channel for directory list 226 Transfer OK PORT 127,0,0,1,4,123 200 Port command successful LIST one/two/sub-a 150 Opening data channel for directory list 226 Transfer OK PORT 127,0,0,1,4,124 200 Port command successful LIST one/two/sub-b 150 Opening data channel for directory list 226 Transfer OK PORT 127,0,0,1,4,125 200 Port command successful RETR one/two/foo.txt 150 Opening data channel for file transfer. 226 Transfer OK PORT 127,0,0,1,4,126 200 Port command successful RETR one/two/sub-a/a.txt 150 Opening data channel for file transfer. 226 Transfer OK PORT 127,0,0,1,4,127 200 Port command successful RETR one/two/sub-b/b.txt 150 Opening data channel for file transfer. 226 Transfer OK QUIT 221 Goodbye disconnected.
As you can see when not using stepwise, there are no CD operation invoked at all.
Samples
In the sample below we set up Apache Camel to download all the reports from the FTP server once every hour (60 min) as BINARY content and store it as files on the local file system.
protected RouteBuilder createRouteBuilder() throws Exception { return new RouteBuilder() { public void configure() throws Exception { // we use a delay of 60 minutes (eg. once pr. hour we poll the FTP server long delay = 60 * 60 * 1000L; // from the given FTP server we poll (= download) all the files // from the public/reports folder as BINARY types and store this as files // in a local directory. Apache Camel will use the filenames from the FTPServer // notice that the FTPConsumer properties must be prefixed with "consumer." in the URL // the delay parameter is from the FileConsumer component so we should use consumer.delay as // the URI parameter name. The FTP Component is an extension of the File Component. from("ftp://tiger:scott@localhost/public/reports?binary=true&consumer.delay=" + delay). to("file://target/test-reports"); } }; }
And the route using Spring DSL:
<route> <from uri="ftp://scott@localhost/public/reports?password=tiger&inary=true&elay=60000"/> <to uri="file://target/test-reports"/> </route>
Consuming a remote FTP server triggered by a route
The FTP consumer is built as a scheduled consumer to be used in the from route. However, if you want to start consuming from an FTP server triggered within a route, use a route like the following:
from("seda:start") // define the file name so that only a single file is polled and deleted once retrieved .pollEnrich("ftp://admin@localhost:21/getme?password=admin&binary=false&fileName=myFile.txt&delete=true") .to("mock:result");
Consuming a remote FTPS server (implicit SSL) and client authentication
from("ftps://admin@localhost:2222/public/camel?password=admin&securityProtocol=SSL&isImplicit=true &ftpClient.keyStore.file=./src/test/resources/server.jks &ftpClient.keyStore.password=password&ftpClient.keyStore.keyPassword=password") .to("bean:foo");
Consuming a remote FTPS server (explicit TLS) and a custom trust store configuration
from("ftps://admin@localhost:2222/public/camel?password=admin&ftpClient.trustStore.file=./src/test/resources/server.jks&ftpClient.trustStore.password=password") .to("bean:foo");
Filter using org.apache.camel.component.file.GenericFileFilter
Apache Camel supports pluggable filtering strategies. You define a filter strategy by implementing the
org.apache.camel.component.file.GenericFileFilter
interface in Java. You can then configure the endpoint with the filter to skip certain files.
In the following sample we define a filter that only accepts files whose filename starts with
report
.
public class MyFileFilter<T> implements GenericFileFilter<T> { public boolean accept(GenericFile<T> file) { // we only want report files return file.getFileName().startsWith("report"); } }
And then we can configure our route using the filter attribute to reference our filter (using
#
notation) that we have defined in the spring XML file:
<!-- define our sorter as a plain spring bean --> <bean id="myFilter" class="com.mycompany.MyFileFilter"/> <route> <from uri="ftp://someuser@someftpserver.com?password=secret&filter=#myFilter"/> <to uri="bean:processInbox"/> </route>
Filtering using ANT path matcher
The ANT path matcher is a filter that is shipped out-of-the-box in the camel-spring jar. So you need to depend on camel-spring if you are using Maven. The reason is that we leverage Spring's AntPathMatcher to do the actual matching.
The file paths are matched with the following rules:
?
matches one character*
matches zero or more characters**
matches zero or more directories in a path
The sample below demonstrates how to use it:
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"/> <camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring"> <template id="camelTemplate"/> <!-- use myFilter as filter to allow setting ANT paths for which files to scan for --> <endpoint id="myFTPEndpoint" uri="ftp://admin@localhost:${SpringFileAntPathMatcherRemoteFileFilterTest.ftpPort}/antpath?password=admin&ecursive=true&elay=10000&nitialDelay=2000&ilter=#myAntFilter"/> <route> <from ref="myFTPEndpoint"/> <to uri="mock:result"/> </route> </camelContext> <!-- we use the AntPathMatcherRemoteFileFilter to use ant paths for includes and exclude --> <bean id="myAntFilter" class="org.apache.camel.component.file.AntPathMatcherGenericFileFilter"> <!-- include any files in the sub-folder that have day in the name --> <property name="includes" value="**/subfolder/**/*day*"/> <!-- exclude all files with bad in name or .xml files. Use comma to seperate multiple excludes --> <property name="excludes" value="**/*bad*,**/*.xml"/> </bean>
Using a proxy with SFTP
To use an HTTP proxy to connect to your remote host, you can configure your route in the following way:
<!-- define our sorter as a plain spring bean --> <bean id="proxy" class="com.jcraft.jsch.ProxyHTTP"> <constructor-arg value="localhost"/> <constructor-arg value="7777"/> </bean> <route> <from uri="sftp://localhost:9999/root?username=admin&password=admin&proxy=#proxy"/> <to uri="bean:processFile"/> </route>
You can also assign a user name and password to the proxy, if necessary. Please consult the documentation for
com.jcraft.jsch.Proxy
to discover all options.
Setting preferred SFTP authentication method
If you want to explicitly specify the list of authentication methods that should be used by
sftp
component, use preferredAuthentications
option. If for example you would like Camel to attempt to authenticate with private/public SSH key and fallback to user/password authentication in the case when no public key is available, use the following route configuration:
from("sftp://localhost:9999/root?username=admin&password=admin&preferredAuthentications=publickey,password") .to("bean:processFile");
Consuming a single file using a fixed name
When you want to download a single file and knows the file name, you can use
fileName=myFileName.txt
to tell Camel the name of the file to download. By default the consumer will still do a FTP LIST command to do a directory listing and then filter these files based on the fileName
option. Though in this use-case it may be desirable to turn off the directory listing by setting useList=false
. For example the user account used to login to the FTP server may not have permission to do a FTP LIST command. So you can turn off this with useList=false
, and then provide the fixed name of the file to download with fileName=myFileName.txt
, then the FTP consumer can still download the file. If the file for some reason does not exist, then Camel will by default throw an exception, you can turn this off and ignore this by setting ignoreFileNotFoundOrPermissionError=true
.
For example to have a Camel route that pickup a single file, and delete it after use you can do
from("ftp://admin@localhost:21/nolist/?password=admin&stepwise=false&useList=false&ignoreFileNotFoundOrPermissionError=true&fileName=report.txt&delete=true") .to("activemq:queue:report");
Notice that we have use all the options we talked above above.
You can also use this with
ConsumerTemplate
. For example to download a single file (if it exists) and grab the file content as a String type:
String data = template.retrieveBodyNoWait("ftp://admin@localhost:21/nolist/?password=admin&stepwise=false&useList=false&ignoreFileNotFoundOrPermissionError=true&fileName=report.txt&delete=true", String.class);
Debug logging
