Absolut path information in ftp/sftp component

Hi together,

What is the reason that ftp/sftp component does not support absolute path
information?
Is there a technical reason? Or is it maybe a viable request for a feature?

Thanks
 Michael

Rép. : Absolut path information in ftp/sftp component

Posted by Daniel Langevin <da...@shq.gouv.qc.ca>.

Hi,

The path used in ftp, ftps and sftp components is always relative to FTP home directory of logged in user.

FTP home directory depends on configuration of FTP server. 
In some configurations it can be seemingly "/", but it is in most cases just chroot

Yes for Security reasons.

But you can escape the user's home path by setting

*jailStartingDirectory*=false

and climb up the directory-tree with

.. /.. /.. /.. /.. /<absolute path>
