The question is more what MEP does the remote server use.
The choices you exposed seem to imply that the remote server would return
incoming files, which would be an InOut.
However, an ftp server or file system (an smtp server as well) use an InOnly
pattern (on the producer side) so there is no response (or incomingFile).
By not populating an out in the Exchange, camel will automatically send the
original message (from the outbox) to the rest of the route, therefore you
don't need to do anything on that side.
To use incomingFiles you would need a PollingConsumer. That would be the
enabler for the second route in Claus' example.
