As of Release 7.7.08, when testing a connection using [S]FTP, both reading and writing are tested and the message displayed indicates the success or failure of each.
In previous releases, when configuring a connection to an [S]FTP server for fixed or delimited flat files, the Test option would only test reading from the remote server.
However, these adapters could be used to write to the remote server, either independently or as an auxiliary connection for an adapter, such as Impala or Drill, that required a file to be transferred to the server where they were running.
In these cases, even though the test successfully passed, the use of the adapter could still fail. An example of this is if the user did not have write access to the specified directory.
