# TestFtpd

[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/testftpd.png)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/testftpd) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/christian-schulze/testftpd.png)](https://travis-ci.org/christian-schulze/testftpd)

Simple FTP server written in pure Ruby.

The primary use case is for integration testing FTP client code in a Rails 3.1 codebase using RSpec 2. 

Enough FTP commands are implemented to be useful, including:

  

    portpasvuserpassquitsysttype

  

    listretrstordelesizemdtmrnfr/rnto

  

    pwdcdupcwdmkdrmdnlst

  

## Usage

Update your Gemfile

```ruby

group :test do

  gem 'testftpd', :require => false

end

```

Write some specs...

```ruby

require 'spec_helper'

require 'testftpd'

describe 'Test all the things!' do

  let(:ftp_port) { 21212 }

  let(:ftp_root) { Rails.root.to_s }

  before do

    @ftp_server = TestFtpd::Server.new(port: ftp_port, root_dir: ftp_root)

    @ftp_server.start

  end

  after do

    @ftp_server.shutdown

  end

  it 'lists remote files' do

    ftp = Net::FTP.new

    ftp.connect('127.0.0.1', ftp_port)

    ftp.login('username', 'password')

    ftp.list.any? { |file| file ~= /Gemfile/ }.should be_true

  end

end

```

You can change the list command format by monkey-patching or stubbing. Heres a stubbing technique I've used:

```ruby

require 'spec_helper'

require 'testftpd'

describe 'Test all the things!' do

  let(:ftp_port) { 21212 }

  let(:ftp_root) { Rails.root.to_s }

  before do

    @ftp_server = TestFtpd::Server.new(port: ftp_port, root_dir: ftp_root)

    @ftp_server.start

  end

  after do

    @ftp_server.shutdown

  end

  before :each do

    TestFtpd::FileSystemProvider.stub(:format_list_entry) do |entry|

      raw =  entry.ftp_date.strftime('%m-%d-%g  %I:%M%p') + ' '

      if entry.directory?

        raw += '                '

      else

        raw += entry.ftp_size.to_s.rjust(20, ' ') + ' '

      end

      raw += entry.ftp_name

      raw += "\r\n"

      raw

    end

  end

  it 'lists remote files' do

    ftp = Net::FTP.new

    ftp.connect('127.0.0.1', ftp_port)

    ftp.login('username', 'password')

    ftp.list.any? { |file| file ~= /Gemfile/ }.should be_true

  end

```

This will most likely make it into the *TestFtpd* code base as a configurable option, stay tuned.

## Todo

* more tests

* add simple authentication provider

* implement more FTP commands

## Acknowledgements

This code builds upon Rubtsov Vitaly' excellent project [dyn-ftp-serv](http://rubyforge.org/projects/dyn-ftp-serv/) created in late 2007.

Also [Francis Hwang](https://github.com/fhwang/fake_ftp) who originally adapted *dyn-ftp-serv*, and gave me a head start for this project.
