Be aware of comments in http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/ftp.html Regards, Luis -----Original Message----- From: Artemis Ozten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 1:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: using telnet in ant 1.6.1 I have been using ant 1.5.4 and telnet task just fine in MS Windows. I upgraded to ANT 1.6.1 and my telnet task fails: C:\dev\build\remoteTarget.xml:207: Could not create task or type of typo Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon. This is common and has a number of causes; the usual solutions are to read the manual pages then download and install needed JAR files, or fix the build file: - You have misspelt 'telnet'. Fix: check your spelling. - The task needs an external JAR file to execute and this is not found at the right place in the classpath. Fix: check the documentation for dependencies. Fix: declare the task. - The task is an Ant optional task and optional.jar is absent Fix: look for optional.jar in ANT_HOME/lib, download if needed ............................ ...................... I copied optional.jar and netComponents.jar to ANT_HOME/lib but result did not change. The jars are old as ANT 1.5.4. Would that matter? Or Should I declare the task too?
