I lost you. Are you saying that if I change the timestamp locally, it will re-upload? I don't understand where the hash comes into play. If I change the date, it's going to upload anyway. Does <modified> somehow compare MD5 hash of the file on the server to the MD5 hash of the file locally? If that is the case and the upload breaks, shouldn't it catch it as a non-equal hash the next time I run the ant script?
The problem is that it takes up to 6 hours to upload everything for a single project. I only want to upload what needs to be uploaded. I could do a "touch" of all the files locally and force upload of everything to guarantee that all the files are valid. But re-uploading 6 hours each time is just not practical when perhaps 95% of the files are still good. I'm a java programmer. I'm willing to modify the ftp task to meet my needs if it's not a huge task. I just don't have the bandwidth to dive into a major undertaking, though. How easy would it be to modify the ftp task source? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 10:11 AM To: user@ant.apache.org Subject: AW: FTP "Depends" option for size as well as date? The <modified> catches all files which were already selected my storing their MD5-hash (other algorithms could be plugged in). So that could help if you change the timestamp locally. It does not help if your upload breaks. Jan >-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- >Von: JWM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Gesendet: Mittwoch, 20.
