Hello,

I wrote a script that should manage regular backups of a number of  
things and ftp the backups to a remote site using net/ftp. How can I  
go about testing this really? I’m not quite sure how I can use Unit  
Tests without access to a mock object, but I don’t see one. Should I  
develop a mock object to write unit tests for my script? What other  
methods might be suggested for this kind of situation?

Thanks,  
-carl
