Description

I made a small route

 

from("sftp://...").to("ftp://...")

which downloads a lot of files recursively. This results in a lot of empty directories, that i have to clean up manually afterwards. In my opinion, this behavior could be improved by deleting directories, when all files within it have been downloaded.

I acknowledge that there are some grey zones.

• What if directories are initially empty? They should probably not get deleted, as they have not been "flagged" as having downloadable content.

I'm just throwing a ball in the air here, because i feel the current functionality seems - inconvenient.
