Which part of Selenium is appropriate for me?

2012-03-17T21:53:00.002-07:00

Selenium IDE

Selenium IDE is an integrated development environment for Selenium scripts. It is implemented as a Firefox extension, and allows you to record, edit, and debug tests. Selenium IDE includes the entire Selenium Core, allowing you to easily and quickly record and play back tests in the actual environment that they will run.

Selenium IDE is not only recording tool: it is a complete IDE. You can choose to use its recording capability, or you may edit your scripts by hand. With autocomplete support and the ability to move commands around quickly, Selenium IDE is the ideal environment for creating Selenium tests no matter what style of tests you prefer.

Features:

Easy record and playback
Intelligent field selection will use IDs, names, or XPath as needed
Autocomplete for all common Selenium commands
Walk through tests
Debug and set breakpoints
Save tests as HTML, Ruby scripts, or any other format
Support for Selenium user-extensions.js file
Option to automatically assert the title of every page
NEW! Easy customization through plugins.

What is Selenium?

2012-03-17T21:51:00.000-07:00

Selenium automates browsers. That's it. What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.

Selenium has the support of some of the largest browser vendors who have taken (or are taking) steps to make Selenium a native part of their browser. It is also the core technology in countless other browser automation tools, APIs and frameworks.

anonymouse_enable=no
local_enable=Yes
write_enable=yes
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=yes
xferlog_enable=yes
connect_from_port_20=yes
ascii_upload_enable=yes
ascii_download_enable=yes
chroot_local_user=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=yes
tcp_wrapper=yes
##########################################################################

And now save the changes and restart the vsftpd service.

#/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart.

Now login to your ftp account and check .You should now will not be able to come out of your home directory.
