The SFTP Listener tool is a custom message listener extension for Parasoft Virtualize. It stands up a temporary SFTP V3 server that can notify Virtualize on a per-command or session basis. This allows you to perform validations and post-processing on the events that occur. This listener does not support virtualizing SFTP command responses. The commands are processed by the underlying SFTP server, then converted into a format that Virtualize can interpret to perform validations and post-processing.
