How to fake SFTP server on Mule unit test?

Question

I'm trying to unit test a mule flow that has an ftp:inbound-endpoint and an sftp:outbound-endpoint.

I'm following the example FTPFunctionalTestCase from Mule In Action 2nd Ed chapter 03, which has both an ftp:inbound-endpoint and an ftp:outbound-endpoint.

The point is that I'm not able to use FakeFtpServer for faking an SFTP server. Is there any trick I don't know for doing it, or should I use another class?

Answer 1

FakeFtpServer does not provide SFTP, as it is a quite different technology from FTP. You might want to look at Mule endpoint mocking with Munit, or if you really need a mock SFTP server, you can look at this blog post on building one.

Answer 2

Munit also provides an FTP/SFTP server for your integration tests

Answer 3

You need to go to the update site for munit and install SFTP integration tool in your Anypoint studio. Then you will be able to use SFTP integration testing tool.
