Using Apache Mina as a Mock/In Memory SFTP Server for Unit Testing

Question

I am having a bit of trouble working out how to use Apache Mina. Their documentation is a bit scant for my talentless brain to work out. I have seen the helpful starting cod

Here is what I did (JUnit):

  @Test
  public void testPutAndGetFile() throws JSchException, SftpException, IOException
  {
    JSch jsch = new JSch();

    Hashtable<String, String> config = new Hashtable<String, String>();
    config.put("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
    JSch.setConfig(config);

    Session session = jsch.getSession( "remote-username", "localhost", PORT);
    session.setPassword("remote-password");

    session.connect();

    Channel channel = session.openChannel( "sftp" );
    channel.connect();

    ChannelSftp sftpChannel = (ChannelSftp) channel;

    final String testFileContents = "some file contents";

    String uploadedFileName = "uploadFile";
    sftpChannel.put(new ByteArrayInputStream(testFileContents.getBytes()), uploadedFileName);

    String downloadedFileName = "downLoadFile";
    sftpChannel.get(uploadedFileName, downloadedFileName);

    File downloadedFile = new File(downloadedFileName);
    Assert.assertTrue(downloadedFile.exists());

    String fileData = getFileContents(downloadedFile);

    Assert.assertEquals(testFileContents, fileData);

    if (sftpChannel.isConnected()) {
      sftpChannel.exit();
      System.out.println("Disconnected channel");
    }

    if (session.isConnected()) {
      session.disconnect();  
      System.out.println("Disconnected session");
    }

  }

  private String getFileContents(File downloadedFile)
    throws FileNotFoundException, IOException
  {
    StringBuffer fileData = new StringBuffer();
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(downloadedFile));

    try {
      char[] buf = new char[1024];
      for(int numRead = 0; (numRead = reader.read(buf)) != -1; buf = new char[1024]) {
        fileData.append(String.valueOf(buf, 0, numRead));
      }
    } finally {    
      reader.close();
    }

    return fileData.toString();
  }
