I've been using the FTP task with Ant 1.4 and latterly Ant 1.5b1 to
upload my website. It's a useful tool, uploading only the changes,
although it's rather slow.
I got Ant1.5b2 and then the FTP task stopped working. It failed when it
came to a directory that already exists, because it couldn't create the
directory (humph!). Here's an excerpt from by buildfile:
<target name="ftp-sync-txt"
description="=== Synchronise Website Text Files ===">
<ftp server="${ftp.server}"
userid="${username}"
password="${password}"
depends="yes"
binary="no"
verbose="no"
passive="yes"
remotedir="${rem.fs.dir}/users/${username}/whr/${root.dir}">
<fileset dir="${root.dir}">
<patternset refid="text.files"/>
</fileset>
</ftp>
<sound>
<success source="${good.wav}" />
<fail source="${bad.wav}" />
</sound>
</target>
Is this a new bug in Ant1.5b2?
