5The MockFtpServer project provides mock/dummy FTP server implementations for testing FTP client
6code. Two FTP Server implementations are provided, each at a different level of abstraction.
7
8FakeFtpServer provides a higher-level abstraction. You define a virtual file system, including
9directories and files, as well as a set of valid user accounts and credentials. The FakeFtpServer
10then responds with appropriate replies and reply codes based on that configuration.
11
12StubFtpServer, on the other hand, is a lower-level "stub" implementation. You configure the
13individual FTP server commands to return custom data or reply codes, allowing simulation of
14either success or failure scenarios. You can also verify expected command invocations.
15
16MockFtpServer is written in Java, and is ideally suited to testing Java code. But because
17communication with the FTP server is across sockets and TCP/IP, it can be used to test FTP client
18code written in any language.
