Thanks for the suggestion, but the scp task does not provide the capabilities I need. The scp task does not support a "list" action and does not support filesets on the remote host.

This does a secure FTP as an ant task. I understand that there is some problem with IBM systems, but you'll have to look in the archive. See <http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/scp.html>. You will need jsch.jar 0.1.29 or later for <scp> to work. On 10/31/07, Dick, Brian E. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Let me state my problem, rather than my idea of a solution.
