| {{localWorkDirectory}} | {{null}} | When consuming, a local work directory can be used to store the remote file content directly in local files, to avoid loading the content into memory.

The following message headers can be used to affect the behavior of the component 

{div:class=confluenceTableSmall} 
|| Header || Description || 
| {{CamelFileName}} | Specifies the output file name (relative to the endpoint directory) to be used for the output message when sending to the endpoint. If this is not present and no expression either, then a generated message ID is used as the filename instead. | 
| {{CamelFileNameProduced}} | The actual absolute filepath (path + name) for the output file that was written. This header is set by Camel and its purpose is providing end-users the name of the file that was written. | 
| {{CamelFileBatchIndex}} | Current index out of total number of files being consumed in this batch. | 
| {{CamelFileBatchSize}} | Total number of files being consumed in this batch. | 
| {{CamelFileHost}} | The remote hostname. | 
| {{CamelFileLocalWorkPath}} | Path to the local work file, if local work directory is used. | 
{div} 


h3. Using Local Work Directory 

Camel JCIFS supports consuming from remote servers and downloading the files directly into a local work directory. This avoids reading the entire remote file content into memory as it is streamed directly into the local file using {{FileOutputStream}}. 

Camel JCIFS will store to a local file with the same name as the remote file. And finally, when the [Exchange] is complete the local file is deleted. 

So if you want to download files from a remote server and store it as files then you need to route to a file endpoint such as: 
{code:java}

h3. Filtering using ANT path matcher 

The ANT path matcher is a filter that is shipped 

Filtering using ANT path matcher

The ANT path matcher is a filter that is shipped out-of-the-box

...

in

...

the

...

camel-spring

...

jar.

...

So

...

you

...

need

...

to

...

depend

...

on

...

camel-spring

...

if

...

you

...

are

...

using

...

Maven.

...


The

...

reason

...

is

...

that

...

we

...

leverage

...

Spring's

...

AntPathMatcher

...

to

...

do

...

the

...

actual

...

matching.

...

The

...

file

...

paths

...

are

...

matched

...

with

...

the

...

following

...

rules:

  • ? matches one character
  • * matches zero or more characters
  • ** matches zero or more directories in a path

The sample below demonstrates how to use it:

Code Block
xml
xml
 
- {{?}} matches one character 
- {{\*}} matches zero or more characters 
- {{\*\*}} matches zero or more directories in a path 

The sample below demonstrates how to use it:  
{code:xml}
<camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
  <template id="camelTemplate"/>

  <!-- use myFilter as filter to allow setting ANT paths for which files to scan for -->
  <endpoint id="mySMBEndpoint" uri="smb://foo@myserver.example.com/sharename?password=secret&amp;recursive=true&amp;filter=#myAntFilter"/>

  <route>
    <from ref="mySMBEndpoint"/>
    <to uri="mock:result"/>
  </route>
</camelContext>
 
<!-- we use the AntPathMatcherRemoteFileFilter to use ant paths for includes and exclude -->
<bean id="myAntFilter" class="org.apache.camel.component.file.AntPathMatcherGenericFileFilter">
  <!-- include any files in the sub folder that has day in the name -->
  <property name="includes" value="**/subfolder/**/*day*"/>
  <!-- exclude all files with bad in name or .xml files. Use comma to separate multiple excludes -->
  <property name="excludes" value="**/*bad*,**/*.xml"/>
</bean>
