Scp and sshexec tasks will work through a firewall, just as ssh and scp executables will. There is a difference, however, between going through a firewall and an http proxy server. Ssh cannot be proxied through an http proxy server.
In the case of a firewall, you will need to make sure that port 22 is forwarded to the appropriate machine inside the firewall, essentially poking a hole in the firewall to allow the access required. -Rob Anderson > -----Original Message----- > From: Maciej Zywno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 8:46 AM > To: Ant Users List > Subject: Re: [scp/sshexec] Is a connection thru HTTP proxy > possible?
