RE: Using Ant with SSH

[Paul Perevalov]

I'm doing SSH deployment using SecureCRT.
SecureCRT has VCP command line utility to transfer files over SSH.
One problem - you can't input password during deployment so I'm providing it
in a password file.

Here is an example of target:

<target name="doSSH" description="Copies file to remote server over SSH.">
        <!-- Secure CRT location -->
        <property name="vcp.dir" value="C:\Progra~1\Secure~1.0"/>
        <property name="pwd.file" value="pwd"/>
        <property name="pwd" value="xxxxx"/>

        <echo message="Copying ${source.file} to ${dest.dir} at XXXX..."/>
      <!-- Create password file -->
        <echo message="${pwd}" file="${source.dir}/${pwd.file}"/>
        <exec dir="${source.dir}" executable="cmd">
                <arg line="/S /C ${vcp.dir}\vcp.exe ${source.file}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:${dest.dir} &lt; ${pwd.file}"/>
        </exec>
      <!-- delete password file when we've done -->
        <delete file="${source.dir}/${pwd.file}"/>
</target>

Good luck,

Sorry,
I am trying to use Ant to deploy to our production servers through SSH. In
brief I want to be able to deploy the files over SSH to the server from a
task in the Ant build.xml file. I am using a Win2K client and I have SSH
Secure Shell client and SecureCRT.

Is there a way to deploy over SSH from Ant?? If so, how is it done?
