Stefan, The ssh task is different from the telnet task in that is not meant to handle an interactive shell session, beyond the password authentication. It is meant to provide the ability to execute commands remotely as if you were running ssh as follows:
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'command arg' This sort of thing cannot be done with telnet, which must interact with the shell. I think it would a step backwards to require the ssh task to conform to the telnet task's functionality. This sort of thing would be much more difficult to program (and maintain) as well. -Rob Anderson -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Bodewig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 12:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SSH Tasks On Wed, 19 Feb 2003, Dale Anson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I too would like to get a feel from the Ant devs about how to > proceed with this. I am very interested in having ssh and scp (or sftp, don't care too much, maybe even both) tasks within Ant's distribution. I am willing to maintain them (and I'm sure my fellow committers will help 8-). > I'd be happy to donate the tasks I've done as a starting point. This is fine with me, but maybe we should first get the task's semantics straight. I'd like <ssh> to be similar to <telnet> with <read> and <write>. Does your task work that way? Oh, and you'd have to sign a donation form that I can send to you.
