5The MockFtpServer project provides a mock/dummy FTP server implementation that can be very
6useful for testing of FTP client code. It can be configured to return custom data or reply
7codes, to simulate either success or failure scenarios. Expected command invocations can
8also be verified.
9
10MockFtpServer is written in Java, and is ideally suited to testing Java code. But because
11communication with the FTP server is across sockets and TCP/IP, it can be used to test FTP client
12code written in any language.

14The MockFtpServer project may one day provide multiple mock/dummy FTP server implementations,
15at different levels of abstraction. Currently, however, StubFtpServer is the only one provided,
16though others are being considered. StubFtpServer is a "stub" implementation of an FTP server.
17See the "StubFtpServer Getting Started Guide" for more information.

19See the FTP Protocol Spec (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0959.txt) for information about
20FTP, commands, reply codes, etc..
