Ability to specify directory from which data should be pulled #20

From the available configurations for the ftp source, I was not able to find a property via which I configure the path to the directory from which I want to pull files.

This would mean that I would need to host files I want to handle differently in separate users home directory.

I might be misreading the documentation but I guess this is an essential feature that is required.

Thanks.

The ftp path from where retrieve files to be processed by Flume is ftp user's home directory. We actually think that retrieve just some files or a single subdirectory from ftp user's home directory is not an essential feature. Maybe in the future... You are welcome to modify source code to your needs. Regards.

Reopening issue: altough this feature is not essential for us, we'll definitely implement it. Cannot promise when btw.
