In order to add support for protocol such as Secure FTP over SSL and SSH, which could be implemented using either open or closed source implementation. We need flexibility to extend and configure the bus to support any of these implementations. We discussed with Esteban to start with the following approach: Create an Interface based on the existing FtpClientUtil core/rosetta/src/org/jboss/soa/esb/util/RemoteFileSystem.java Create a Factory core/rosetta/src/org/jboss/soa/esb/util/RemoteFileSystemFactory.java Implementation in the internal package Regular FTP: core/rosetta/src/org/jboss/internal/soa/esb/util/EdtFtpImpl.java Secure FTP [over ssh]: core/rosetta/src/org/jboss/internal/soa/esb/util/JSchFtpImpl.java Others... update action classes to use the RemoteFileSystem factory core/listeners/src/org/jboss/soa/esb/actions/FtpUploader.java | core/listeners/src/org/jboss/soa/esb/actions/FtpDownloader.java I will check these in the workspace.
