+# SFTPGo NixOS test
+#
+# This NixOS test sets up a basic test scenario for the SFTPGo module
+# and covers the following scenarios:
+# - uploading a file via sftp
+# - downloading the file over sftp
+# - assert that the ACLs are respected
+# - share a file between alice and bob (using sftp)
+# - assert that eve cannot acceess the shared folder between alice and bob.
+#
+# Additional test coverage for the remaining protocols (i.e. ftp, http and webdav)
+# would be a nice to have for the future.
