Mark Little commented on JBESB-335:
-----------------------------------

This may only ever be an issue with FTP, but we need to harden this code if it is a bug, or make it explicit about configuration requirements if not.

> FileCourier.postFile relies on getParent never returning null so it can get the post directory if one is not specified in the EPR. It even does a comparison later on without checking for null. Unfortunately it is legal for getParent to return null. However, in that situation we should throw an exception at the very least. The signature doesn't allow for it and I'm not changing it yet. If a post directory is not specified we will assume a relative default directory of 'post'.
