http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14063 ANT FTP will not download a file if it is a symlink ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-10-29 20:40 ------- This is because you are not looking at a unix filesystem when you use FTP task. Effectively you are looking at an FTP filesystem. In order to make FTP task work over FTP and look like it is a regular filesystem, a custom inner class called FTPDirectoryScanner is implemented, extending DirectoryScanner. Since the basis of symlink detection, is the result of a comparision between carefully constructed File objects containing absolute paths vs. the results of file.getCannonicalPath() it may not be possible to propogate this feature into FTP task. It might be good to add a check to throw a build exception if follow symlinks gets set to true in FTP task though. (and a note about it in the docs of course. I think I will try to come up with a patch for that tonight. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
