Chapter 273. SCP Component

Available as of Camel version 2.10

The camel-jsch component supports the SCP protocol using the Client API of the Jsch project. Jsch is already used in camel by the FTP component for the sftp: protocol.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-jsch</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

273.1. URI format

scp://host[:port]/destination[?options]

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?option=value&option=value&…​

The file name can be specified either in the <path> part of the URI or as a "CamelFileName" header on the message (Exchange.FILE_NAME if used in code).

273.2. Options

The SCP component supports 2 options which are listed below.

NameDescriptionDefaultType

verboseLogging (producer)

JSCH is verbose logging out of the box. Therefore we turn the logging down to DEBUG logging by default. But setting this option to true turns on the verbose logging again.

false

boolean

resolveProperty Placeholders (advanced)

Whether the component should resolve property placeholders on itself when starting. Only properties which are of String type can use property placeholders.

true

boolean

The SCP endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

scp:host:port/directoryName

with the following path and query parameters:

273.2.1. Path Parameters (3 parameters):

NameDescriptionDefaultType

host

Required Hostname of the FTP server

 

String

port

Port of the FTP server

 

int

directoryName

The starting directory

 

String

273.2.2. Query Parameters (20 parameters):

NameDescriptionDefaultType

disconnect (common)

Whether or not to disconnect from remote FTP server right after use. Disconnect will only disconnect the current connection to the FTP server. If you have a consumer which you want to stop, then you need to stop the consumer/route instead.

false

boolean

chmod (producer)

Allows you to set chmod on the stored file. For example chmod=664.

664

String

fileName (producer)

Use Expression such as File Language to dynamically set the filename. For consumers, it’s used as a filename filter. For producers, it’s used to evaluate the filename to write. If an expression is set, it take precedence over the CamelFileName header. (Note: The header itself can also be an Expression). The expression options support both String and Expression types. If the expression is a String type, it is always evaluated using the File Language. If the expression is an Expression type, the specified Expression type is used - this allows you, for instance, to use OGNL expressions. For the consumer, you can use it to filter filenames, so you can for instance consume today’s file using the File Language syntax: mydata-$date:now:yyyyMMdd.txt. The producers support the CamelOverruleFileName header which takes precedence over any existing CamelFileName header; the CamelOverruleFileName is a header that is used only once, and makes it easier as this avoids to temporary store CamelFileName and have to restore it afterwards.

 

String

flatten (producer)

Flatten is used to flatten the file name path to strip any leading paths, so it’s just the file name. This allows you to consume recursively into sub-directories, but when you eg write the files to another directory they will be written in a single directory. Setting this to true on the producer enforces that any file name in CamelFileName header will be stripped for any leading paths.

false

boolean

strictHostKeyChecking (producer)

Sets whether to use strict host key checking. Possible values are: no, yes

no

String

allowNullBody (producer)

Used to specify if a null body is allowed during file writing. If set to true then an empty file will be created, when set to false, and attempting to send a null body to the file component, a GenericFileWriteException of 'Cannot write null body to file.' will be thrown. If the fileExist option is set to 'Override', then the file will be truncated, and if set to append the file will remain unchanged.

false

boolean

disconnectOnBatchComplete (producer)

Whether or not to disconnect from remote FTP server right after a Batch upload is complete. disconnectOnBatchComplete will only disconnect the current connection to the FTP server.

false

boolean

connectTimeout (advanced)

Sets the connect timeout for waiting for a connection to be established Used by both FTPClient and JSCH

10000

int

soTimeout (advanced)

Sets the so timeout Used only by FTPClient

300000

int

synchronous (advanced)

Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported).

false

boolean

timeout (advanced)

Sets the data timeout for waiting for reply Used only by FTPClient

30000

int

knownHostsFile (security)

Sets the known_hosts file, so that the jsch endpoint can do host key verification. You can prefix with classpath: to load the file from classpath instead of file system.

 

String

password (security)

Password to use for login

 

String

preferredAuthentications (security)

Set a comma separated list of authentications that will be used in order of preference. Possible authentication methods are defined by JCraft JSCH. Some examples include: gssapi-with-mic,publickey,keyboard-interactive,password If not specified the JSCH and/or system defaults will be used.

 

String

privateKeyBytes (security)

Set the private key bytes to that the endpoint can do private key verification. This must be used only if privateKeyFile wasn’t set. Otherwise the file will have the priority.

 

byte[]

privateKeyFile (security)

Set the private key file to that the endpoint can do private key verification. You can prefix with classpath: to load the file from classpath instead of file system.

 

String

privateKeyFilePassphrase (security)

Set the private key file passphrase to that the endpoint can do private key verification.

 

String

username (security)

Username to use for login

 

String

useUserKnownHostsFile (security)

If knownHostFile has not been explicit configured, then use the host file from System.getProperty(user.home) /.ssh/known_hosts

true

boolean

ciphers (security)

Set a comma separated list of ciphers that will be used in order of preference. Possible cipher names are defined by JCraft JSCH. Some examples include: aes128-ctr,aes128-cbc,3des-ctr,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc. If not specified the default list from JSCH will be used.

 

String

273.3. Limitations

Currently camel-jsch only supports a Producer (i.e. copy files to another host).
