FTP Component - How to Disconnect?

Hi,
I am creating a simple flow uploading files using FTP and FTPs.
Here is the process definition:
I drop a file in a folder, Camel picks it up and uploads it to the
server. Everything works perfectly.
My problem is that I would like to disconnect from the FTP server
(terminate session) every time a file is uploaded. It seems though that
the connection to the FTP server is kept open. Thus, if I drop a new
file into my monitored folder the same FTP session is reused. I would
like that not to happen.
How can I configure my camel process to disconnect from the FTP Server?
I did not find any information on this.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Regards
Gunnar

Hey Gunnar,
you are right. At present, we disconnect only after a failed write/upload
from the server. Currently you have no choice to configure a session
disconnect after a write.
@Claus: Should Gunnar open a JIRA ticket for that or won't we change this?
Regards,
Christian

My 2 cents is that it's a worthwhile option to have, many FTP servers
would close the connection on you after a timeout anyway.

Hi
I have created the ticket
https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-2391
And also implemented this new feature.
There is a new option disconnect=3Dtrue which will disconnect from the
remote ftp server right after use.
It can be used on both the consumer or producer side.
Will be in the next Camel 2.2 release, which is due next month.
