It provides fixtures that let you write tests interacting with a real SFTP protocol implementation without needing a separate server process. The server runs in the same process as your test, making it fast and easy to set up and tear down.\n\nThe package depends on paramiko for SFTP protocol handling. It was forked from mock-ssh-server but stripped down to focus solely on SFTP. The project is no longer maintained; the last release was 2018-03-21. It works well for straightforward SFTP testing scenarios, but you should verify that it handles your specific use cases and plays nicely with your current Python and dependency versions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if your SFTP testing needs are straightforward and you can verify the package works with your Python version and current paramiko release. The low install friction and permissive license make it reasonable for test fixtures. However, the abandoned status (no updates since 2018-03-21) means you should test compatibility first and be prepared to maintain a fork if critical issues arise."},"id":"mocksftp","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mocksftp","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mocksftp.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mocksftp/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-03-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mocksftp","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Mock SFTP server for testing purposes"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":85647,"position":13909,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.1"}
