StubFtpServer Features and Limitations | |
-------------------------------------------------- | |
StubFtpServer Features | |
* Standalone dummy FTP server. Run either within the same JVM as test code or in a different JVM. | |
* Implements common FTP server commands. See {{{./stubftpserver-commandhandlers.html}FTP Commands and CommandHandlers}}. | |
* Supports active and passive mode data transfers. | |
* Works out of the box with reasonable defaults: success reply codes and empty data. | |
* Easy to configure command handlers for individual FTP server commands to return success/failure reply codes and custom data. | |
* Can verify expected FTP server command invocations. | |
* Easy to implement command handlers for other commands or replace existing command handlers. | |
* Use a dynamically chosen free port number for the server control port instead of using the default (21) | |
or hard-coding some other value (set the serverControlPort property of the server to 0). | |
* Fully supports configuration within the <<Spring Framework>>. | |
* Can be used to test FTP client code written in any language | |
StubFtpServer Limitations | |
* Using <<StubFtpServer>> for testing and simulation of non-default scenarios requires | |
some understanding of the FTP Specification and a configuration of the low-level | |
FTP Server commands. | |
