DESCRIPTION

Test::FTP::Server run Net::FTPServer internally. The server's settings can be specified as a parameter, therefore it is not necessary to prepare the configuration file.

FUNCTIONS

new

Create a ftpd instance.

%options

users

Definition of users.

user and pass are used for login.

If root is specified, ftpd behaves as if the specified directory is the root directory.

If sandbox is specified, The content of sandbox is copied into the temporary directory, and ftpd behaves as if the temporary directory is the root directory. The content of sandbox never changes by the user's operation.

It is necessary to specify "root" or "sandbox".

ftpd_conf

The settings that is usually specified in "/etc/ftpd.conf" when using Net::FTPServer.

Specified by the hash reference.

run

Run a ftpd instance.

EXAMPLE

  use Test::FTP::Server;
  use Test::TCP;
  use Net::FTP;

  my $user = 'testid';
  my $pass = 'testpass';
  my $sandbox_base = '/path/to/sandbox_base';

  test_tcp(
    server => sub {
      my $port = shift;

      Test::FTP::Server->new(
        'users' => [{
          'user' => $user,
          'pass' => $pass,
          'sandbox' => $sandbox_base,
        }],
        'ftpd_conf' => {
          'port' => $port,
          'daemon mode' => 1,
          'run in background' => 0,
        },
      )->run;
    },
    client => sub {
      my $port = shift;

      my $ftp = Net::FTP->new('localhost', Port => $port);
      ok($ftp);
      ok($ftp->login($user, $pass));
      ok($ftp->quit);
    },
  );

NOTES

  • Test::FTP::Server is for test use only. "root" and "sandbox" is not using chroot to keep available for any user. Therefore, there is a security risk when a server opened to the public.
