Thanks,

I can see that both sshexec and scp tasks use jsch library that do support
http proxy connections. Isn't it just a matter of using this support in
these tasks? I mean.. I want to extend
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.ssh.Scp(Sshexec) classes to use jsch
proxy support as it is mentioned here
http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/examples/ViaHTTP.java

Does it seem feasible? Do you know whether there are any reasons it's not
implemented in Ant yet?

Thanks again,

Maciej Zywno

ssh doesnt go through firewalls except with socks. If you have a socks
server you may be able to get <ssh> to work.

commons-vfs has support for webdav and tasks like <v-copy> to copy files
to a virtual filesystem, so if the far end supports webdav you can
upload over http, and hence through the proxy
