FTP load test tools

[DevNull43 <de...@gmail.com>]

I need to do some load testing, and currently I use lftp client on linux
doing a set of commands and log out, I start several threads from a
script with:

lftp -f client1 &
lftp -f client2 &
lftp -f client3 &
..
lftp -f clientN &

It works and I can detect several problems I'm working on, however would
like to know a better approach for load testing.

I have seen jscape has one but is pretty basic.
Also I tried to build a test plan with Jmeter but my clients do not log
off.

Before I build my own solution, does anybody know for a good tool for
stress / load test FTP?

Thanks.

I would also be interested in something like this. In my tests, I've
been using the commons-net FTP client, but that's requires a fair
amount of coding.

Yes as I said, already tried Jmeter, however besides login and put/get
files I don't see how to simulate site commands, change from folders
etc, and my biggest issue is I don't know how to log out!

Clients gets logged in without activity.

If you have a good test plan I would appreciate if you can share it.

Otherwise I need some better FTP load test tool.

Thanks ;)

Jmeter may be the solution for you:
