http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37897 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-01-15 03:17 ------- After researching this problem, I found a workaround that reduces the problem, although the behavior is different, and might not work for some use cases. If you use the <modified> selector on the fileset, then ant will keep track of changes made to the local copies of the files, and only the modified files will be selected for the ftp transfer. For my case, this works just the same as the "depends=true" option for the <ftp> task, but the behavior is slightly different. "depends" option forces a comparison of the timestamps of the files on the server and the files on the local filest, whereas <modified> works only with the local files. There is a potential for a disconnect if the files on the server are reverted to an older version; For example, I am doing software development on enterprise web applications. If I reinstall my server with a different version of the software after I have already invoked the <ftp> tasks on my machine; Then the server will not have the updated jsp, etc. files I am actively working on, and when I run the <ftp> task again, the newer versions will not be transfered because I haven't changed them locally since the server software was reinstalled. Since I have full control of the server I am ftping the files to, if the above situation happpens, I can just remove the cache.properties file that the <modified> selector uses, and then the <ftp> will transfer all files the next time invoked. <ftp server="${SERVER_NAME}" userid="${SERVER_USER}" password="${SERVER_PASSWORD}" remotedir="/usr/pronto/web/html/jsp" verbose="yes"> <fileset dir="${TOP}/web/html/jsp"> <include name="*.jsp"/> <include name="*.jspf"/> <modified> <param name="cache.cachefile" value="${TMP_DIR}/ftp-jsp-cache.properties"/> </modified> </fileset> </ftp> I recommend that the ftp task should include a reference to the <modified> selector. Because I didn't even think to use that until I found a reference to it on the web. http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/selectors.html#modified -- 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]
