| -------------------------------------------------- | |
| 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. | |
