Polling directory with multiple sub-directories - spring

Question

I am trying to build a simple utility that will copy the files from multiple directories from one sftp server to another server.
I tried use sftp outbound gateway to poll single high level directory with command "mget" , but it did not work. So I thought of writing two inbound adapters ( not a good solution, but still wanted this to be done badly !) .
<int-sftp:inbound-channel-adapter
id="pdbInbound"
session-factory="sftpSessionFactory"
auto-create-local-directory="true" delete-remote-files="true"
filename-pattern="*.*" remote-directory="${remote.pdb.directory}"
local-directory="${local.pdb.directory}">
<int:poller fixed-rate="5000"/>
</int-sftp:inbound-channel-adapter>
<int-sftp:inbound-channel-adapter
id="galaxyInbound"
session-factory="sftpSessionFactory"
auto-create-local-directory="true" delete-remote-files="true"
filename-pattern="*.*" remote-directory="${remote.galaxy.directory}"
local-directory="${local.galaxy.directory}" >
<int:poller fixed-rate="5000"/>
</int-sftp:inbound-channel-adapter>
Above code works perfectly fine and files are copied to local directories as expected.
Problem appears when I need to transfer these files to remote directory with the same directory structure as that of source directory. I could not achieve it using sftp-outbound gateway with command = "mput" and command-options= "-R". So, I tried to write two outbound adapters as below. But only one directory is written to remote.
Any idea what is going wrong here ?
<int:service-activator input-channel="pdbInbound" output-channel="pdbOutbound" expression="payload"/>
<int:service-activator input-channel="galaxyInbound" output-channel="galaxyOutbound" expression="payload"/>
<int-sftp:outbound-channel-adapter id="sftPdbOutboundAdapter" auto-create-directory="true"
session-factory="sftpSessionFactory"
auto-startup="true"
channel="pdbOutbound"
charset="UTF-8"
remote-file-separator="/"
remote-directory="${remote.out.pdb.directory}"
mode="REPLACE">
</int-sftp:outbound-channel-adapter>
<int-sftp:outbound-channel-adapter id="sftpGalaxyOutboundAdapter" auto-create-directory="true"
auto-startup="true"
session-factory="sftpSessionFactory"
channel="galaxyOutbound"
charset="UTF-8"
remote-file-separator="/"
remote-directory="${remote.out.galaxy.directory}"
mode="REPLACE">
</int-sftp:outbound-channel-adapter>
<int:poller default="true" fixed-delay="50"/>
Note: I am using same sftp server (but different directories) for inbound and outbound files for testing purpose.

You need to explain your issues in more details - "did not work" is woefully inadequate and you won't get much help here with such a question. You need to show what you tried and what you observed.
There are test cases for both recursive mget and recursive mput.
The directory structure for the tests is shown in a comment at the top of that file.
I suggest you compare those with what you tried and come back here if you have a specific question/observation. Best thing to do to solve these issues is to turn on DEBUG logging; including for jsch.
