Darren Davison commented on CAMEL-2860:
---------------------------------------

I think it's worth pointing out that this must have changed recently as camel-1.6 doesn't exhibit this problem, so the "old" behaviour is the correct behaviour that we should revert to.  

Most FTP clients send absolute paths to the server.  It is the server's responsibility to decide what absolute means (usually a protected FTP root dir is configured in the server and FTP clients cannot escape this regardless of paths used).  If the server allows full f/s access via FTP then that's either up to the server admin or a fault in the FTP server software.  Either way, it should *not* be down to camel-ftp to make unilateral, non-overridable, backwards-incompatible decisions about potential server software configuration.

Personally, I vote for this to be fixed and backported to current production versions.

> FTP Servers expect clients to use absolute paths, so camel-ftp clients should not clip any leading /
> We could consider adding a flag to preserve the old behavior to have people if they rely on the old behavior be able to switch that flag on.
