Description

We initiate: ftp = new FTPClient();

If you follow Exactly this workflow:

1. Valid Connect (ftp.connect(validIP, 21))
2. Valid Login (boolean login = ftp.login("username", "correctPass"))
3. Valid Change directory (boolean changed = ftp.changeWorkingDirectory(correctRemoteDirectory))
4. Invalid Connect (ftp.connect(invalidIP, 21))
5. Valid Upload (boolean uploaded = ftp.storeFile(hostDir + fileName, inputStream))
6. Invalid Login (boolean login = ftp.login("username", "wrongPass"))

The last action (Invalid Login) will return "true", although it should return "false"
