Using FTP

[kiran <ri...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Is it mandatory that to use FTP component in camel it needs to be chained
with a File component? for eg from ("file://) to ("ftp")? Can I chain
directly a bean output to ftp component like from(bean) to (ftp) or create a
direct end point to the ftp component?

If the second and third case is feasible, what is the input expected by FTP
component? File object, or String or InputStream?

Regards
Kiran

You can chain the ftp component with whatever you want.

The input is expected to by convertable to InputStream.
Camel has built-in converters which can convert between the common types.

Mind that from(bean) does not make a good choice, as Camel will keep
call a method
on the been forever.

If you want to send a message to a Camel endpoint / route from Java
code, then look at
