Hi, When I run it with the new version commons-net-3.2, there is no error. But even if there is a file on the ftp server, it was not downloaded. The process completed without raising error. I even tried to run with debug and compare the two versions. The only difference is that with the old version, the file was downloaded.
I will put the commons-net-3.x.jar in the ant/lib directory. Just by swapping the 3.1 and 3.2 version, the result is different. Thanks for the advice, but I think I am not good enough to dig the source codes. However, I will try more to see what I can find out. with best regards, ________________________________ From: Antoine Levy Lambert <anto...@gmx.de> To: Ant Users List <user@ant.apache.org>; Joe Black <pelican5...@yahoo.com> Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2013 11:00 AM Subject: Re: ant task ftp Hello Joe, this looks like a bug or incompatibility between ant and this new version of commons-net. It would be good if you can create a bug report in bugzilla ( http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla ) What would be great is if you could start digging in the source code of ant and commons-net to understand why the ftp does not work with commons-3.2.jar. Does the build hang ? Is there an extra dependency which is missing ? Patches are welcome :-) Regards, Antoine On Dec 26, 2012, at 12:38 AM, Joe Black wrote: > Hi, > > > I am using ant to download the files from the server > using FTP. > > Previously, I am using ant-1.8.4 together with > commons-net-3.1.jar as follows: > > > <target name=”ftp”> > <ftp server=”serverName” userid=”xxx” password=”xxx” > action=”get” > Remotedir=”/home/dir” > newer=”true” timediffauto=”true”> > <fileset > dir=”../data”> > <include > name=”${file}*”/> > </fileset> > </ftp> > > > It was running fine. > > However, recently I changed the (commons-net.3.1.jar) > with (commons-3.2.jar). > The above program did not work anymore. > When I changed back to 3.1 version, it is still working. > > > Any ideas? > > > thanks and best regards,
