Look at the scp task. It will take a fileset. But what you describe, with the temp tar (or tar.gz, I would suggest), can be more efficient if you have a lot of data to transfer.
Also, a question like this is better suited for the user list. The dev list really has to do with the development of Ant and Ant tasks. -Rob A -----Original Message----- From: mindspin311 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2008 10:47 AM To: dev@ant.apache.org Subject: Can I zip a folder on server A, and send it to Server B This is all being done in Unix for tarring a directory of php files. The process I'm trying to do is: given a folder you're either in or are sending as a command line argument, 1. tar it 2. use svn update to get the version number to append to the file name. 3. send it to a different server. I also have to execute some commands like sudo and possibly exec. Can I do this all in ant without having to create a temp tar file, then ftp it to another server, then go back and delete the temp tar file? Can I use move instead of copy across different servers, so I don't have to remove the temp file after? I'm new to ant, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Just trying to get an idea if this can be done as simply as possible. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Can-I-zip-a-folder-on-server-A%2C-and-send-it-to-S erver-B-tp16384813p16384813.html Sent from the Ant - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
