Description

Currently there are issues when directory in (s)ftp(s) endpoint is absolute (or contains arbitrary number of leading slashes). Sometimes the path is normalized, sometimes don't and camel-ftp code can't find correct prefix in absolute path when retrieving remote file.

Documentation says:

Absolute path is not supported.

I suggest normalizing the behavior and treating absolute FTP endpoint URI directories as relative. When URI contains absolute path, WARNing will be printed:

2015-06-08 09:52:41,304 [main           ] WARN  FtpUtils                       - FtpComponent doesn't support absolute paths, "//foo" will be converted to "foo".
