Quoting John Crisp <[email protected]>:
From what I have read it would seem something like Selenium would be
good for the browser testing but it all looks double dutch to me right now !
RobotFramework uses Selenium for the HTTP part, but then has
additional libraries for the other functionality that we need to test.
http://robotframework.googlecode.com/hg/doc/userguide/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html
"Provides support for Selenium for web testing, Java GUI testing,
running processes, Telnet, SSH, and so on."
The SSH & FTP support also look easy.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Maybe start from
http://www.queryhome.com/33183/installation-of-robot-framework-in-linux-centos
Although google may give other installation options.

I have not tried this at all, just quickly browsed the information
As one example I looked at the FTP library
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rf-ftp-py/
And then their example test script
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rf-ftp-py/files/1.2/
I copy their example test script below, it makes me believe we could
easily test FTP which for me has been always awkward.
