Subject: SFTP task

/*
I have the FTP task all over my build files, and now I need to use SFTP.
I don't see an SFTP task. I only see sftp as a parameter for the SCP
task, but SCP has a completely different syntax from FTP and would
require a lot of re-coding.

What's the easiest way to get from FTP to SFTP?

you could use the free maverick ant task =

http://www.sshtools.com/showMaverickAntTask.do

here's a snippet of the examples shipped with that task =

       <ssh host="foo.bar.com"
            username="lee"
            password="********"
            version="2">

         <exec cmd="ls"/>

         
         <sftp action="mkdir"
               remotedir="ant_rules"/>

         <sftp action="put" remotedir="ant_rules" verbose="true">
           <fileset dir="somejars">
             <include name="*.jar"/>
           </fileset>
         </sftp>

         
         <sftp mode="666" action="chmod" remotedir="ant_rules"
           verbose="true">
           <fileset>
             <include name="*.jar"/>
           </fileset>
         </sftp>

         <exec cmd="tar -zcf archive.tar.gz ant_rules"/>

         <exec cmd="passwd">
            <read>password:</read>
            <write>oldpass</write>
            <read>password:</read>
            <write>newpass</write>
            <read>password:</read>
            <write>newpass</write>
         </exec>
         
         <sftp action="get">
           <filelist 
              dir="."
              files="archive.tar.gz"/> 
         </sftp>

         <sftp action="rmdir" remotedir="ant_rules"/>

       </ssh>

seems exactly what you want. The task has a clear syntax and _no_
library dependencies , it only lacks of a resultproperty of it's sub
exec. 

But beware = i had some difficulties with maverick using for target
platform AIX, means ssh/sftp transfer from windows to AIX via ant.
After a successful handshake it hung up from time to time.

Others - the support of 3SP Ltd included - couldn't reproduce it and use

the task regularly without difficulties.

Give it a shot.

Regards, Gilbert
