Hi,
-----Original Message----- From: Dick, Brian E. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 9:30 PM To: user@ant.apache.org 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.
