Hi Kevin, with the ANT task I don't know how to solve your problem, but I have used Mindterms SSH library
http://www.appgate.com/products/80_MindTerm/ or jsch http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/ and you can execute ssh or scp command from within your java application. If you think about to use rsync have a look to the jarsync library.
