Use as mock for testing FTP client implementations?

Hi,

I am looking for a FTP/FTPS protocol listener (server) which I can 
configure to simulate special error conditions on the server side.

For example I have the problem that in a real situation intermittently a 

3rd party FTP server which is out of control for me accepts "connect", 
but does not process "login". Instead it waits infinitely, and the 
client has to cope with this.

It would be nice to have some implementation acting as FTP server which 
I can configure to deliberately perform in this way, so as to check my 
implementation whether it correctly timeouts in this situation e. g.

Is it possible to achieve this with Apache Ftpserver with small effort?

TIA / Regards,

Yes. You can simulate cases like this using the Ftplet API in FtpServer.
