You need to have and rexec service installed on your windows machine in order for this to work. There are a few available for windows, cygwin has one, and there is one here (untested by me) http://sourceforge.net/projects/rshd/ An alternative is to use sshexec, this are requires a ssh service (daemon) on windows, however there a plenty to choose from. On a side note, rexec is very insecure, all the cmd info is sent in plain text, including user name and password. Hope this helps, -raleigh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
