Description

implement the abstract contract tests for ftp, identify where it is failing to meet expectations and, where possible, fix.

FTPFS appears to be the least tested (& presumably used) hadoop filesystem implementation; there may be some bug reports that have been around for years that could drive test cases and fixes.
