Run FTP flow in test mode without connecting
How do I run an FTP flow in test mode without actually connecting and downloading a file but instead using the sample file uploaded? I am also using the Mock output feature but when I run the flow, it still tries to connect to the FTP and download. Any ideas?

Daniel P, the mock output and sample file is for UI previewing only, not to be used at runtime. What I typically do is put a sample file in the ftp server and then check the "leave file on server" box. That way whenever you run the flow while testing, the sample file stays on the server. Once you're ready for production, you would typically uncheck that and maybe back it up to another directory.
Ah, thanks for explaining Tyler Lamparter. Greatly appreciate your help.
I typically will test by running FTP flows and checking the Leave File on Server box. Then your file isn't deleted during the test runs.
