ftp: URL Test Cases

Abstract:
This document provides file: URL tests in compliance with RFC 1738 and RFC 1630.

Before you start:
This test points to files that should be on a standard installation. In some cases, you need to create an extra test bed of files.
The next re-write will include recommended steps for the location and creation of the test bed.
