I just want to point out, the "Auth fail" error message can be dependant on the ant version you are running.
E.g. with a production version: $ ant -version Apache Ant version 1.6.4 compiled on May 19 2005 $ ant deploy deploy: [cc] Starting dependency analysis for 3 files. [cc] 3 files are up to date. [cc] 0 files to be recompiled from dependency analysis. [cc] 0 total files to be compiled. [scp] Connecting to yy.yy.yy.yy:22 BUILD FAILED build.xml.devel:70: com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Auth fail Total time: 7 seconds And with a development version: $ ant -version Apache Ant version 1.7alpha compiled on July 29 2006 deploy: [cc] Starting dependency analysis for 3 files. [cc] 3 files are up to date. [cc] 0 files to be recompiled from dependency analysis. [cc] 0 total files to be compiled. [scp] Connecting to yy.yy.yy.yy:22 [scp] Sending: version.txt : 654 [scp] File transfer time: 0.12 Average Rate: 5,450.0 B/s [scp] done. BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 8 seconds In both cases I use the same jsch-0.1.28.jar and build.xml files. So the error message can be triggered by an ant bug, which is fixed in the development version of ant. -- --Jhair --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
