Gary D. Gregory commented on VFS-368:
-------------------------------------

How much of a surprise would this change be for current implementations that use the defaults?

IOW, how much would this break existing apps?

>             Project: Commons VFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Brendan Long
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: sftp
>
> On this documentation page:
> http://commons.apache.org/vfs/filesystems.html#SFTP
> It says:
>     SFTP
>     Provides access to the files on an SFTP server (that is, an SSH or SCP server).
>     URI Format
>     sftp://[ username[: password]@] hostname[: port][ absolute-path]
>     Examples
>         sftp://myusername:mypassword@somehost/pub/downloads/somefile.tgz
> The default is actually that the path is relative from the user's home directory. This can be changed by running:
>     SftpFileSystemConfigBuilder
>     .getInstance()
>     .setUserDirIsRoot(options, false);
> I suggest changing the documentation to say [ relative-path ] and adding a note about absolute paths (but I'm not sure how to make it fit the style of this page).
