http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33771 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-05-31 12:41 ------- I still think that in the majority of cases where Ant is used to perform FTP we are not using anonymous access. The user is contacting some site repeatedly, to which he has real user access and getting/putting/updating files. While I can imagine use cases for Ant involving anonymous access, I think they are the minority. I could be wrong. But ask yourself why this request has NOT been made very much, if at all, before. I think you are talking about a convenience default for what is a rather uncommon use case. Instead of this, however, we are beginning to think about something that would much more powerfully increase the convenience factor of using the ftp task, for many more users. That is, separating the connection from the action performed and leaving the connection live for several consecutive actions. So instead of specifying username, password, server, port, system type, custom settings on every ftp action performed, you could specify all of these once for a whole group of actions. Each action would not have to be a separate call to the ftp task. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
