ftp-source recursive remote directory

[borg1310]

hi,

is it possible to configure ftp-source to recursively traverse the remote directory and transfer all files?

thanks in advance
best regards,

@artembilan may have some input around the spring-ftp-supplier.

No, that functionality is not supported yet: spring-projects/spring-integration#3407.

Only the solution available right now is a direct implementation of custom source application which would rely on the FtpOutboundGateway and its MGET command with a -R option: https://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/reference/6.3-SNAPSHOT/ftp/outbound-gateway.html#using-the-mget-command

hi @artembilan ,

thanks for your answer.
my use case is to download data from a ftp server that is located in directories sorted by year. So for now I will pursue the approach of using a dynamic remoteDirectoryExpression. (I already tested this and it works. I asked my question anyway because I can't cover all of our use cases with it)

thanks for your help
best regards,

juergen
