Description

It is not possible to upload a file to a sub directory via sftp if the home directory (the directory where you end up directly after login) is root ("/" or "\").

The reason is that after having checked that the sub directory exists (and perhaps created it), Camel tries to go back to the original directory which is "/". The SftpOperations.changeCurrentDirectory() method calls the FileUtil.compactPath() method that incorrecly changes "/" to "//". The bug thus resides in the FileUtil class which is part of camel-core.

I think this bug may cause a number of other errors than the one I have enountered. E g it cannot be possible to change direcotory to "/" at all. And, other protocols (like ftp/ftps) might also be affected.

This has been discussed on Camel user list:
