Hi Craig!
Obviously it was not documented. This is the way I solved it:
1) download NetComponents.jar (NetComponents 1.3.8) from
http://www.savarese.org/oro/ and add it to your CLASSPATH
2) add a global task such as this to your buildfile:
<taskdef name="ftp" classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.FTP"/>
I'm not sure why I had to do 2), as this is included in defaults.properties.
Hope I could help.
Cheers,
Frank
