Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-3246:
--------------------------------------

I think it might be simpler to break the test into two classes: 
TestFtpFileSystem, which will be run by our ant unit tests, and FtpTests, which 
actually performs the tests.  The former can have a single method, testFtp(), 
that tries to load the FtpServer class.  If it can, it constructs an instance 
of FtpTests and runs it.  If it can't it just prints a warning.  Might that 
work?

> An FTP client that stores content directly into HDFS allows data from FTP 
> serves to be stored directly into HDFS instead of first copying the data 
> locally and then uploading it into HDFS. The benefits are apparent from an 
> administrative perspective as large datasets can be pulled from FTP servers 
> with minimal human intervention.
