http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33214 Summary: Refactore FTP task to get an analogous design as e.g. TELNEt Product: Ant Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Optional Tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I recently used the FTP task a lot the last days and I stuck many times due to limitations of the FTP task in different ant versions 1.5.x - 1.6.x. Still with 1.6.2 I have issues that ore not working properly at least when transfering from WinXP to AIX 5.1 (e.g. in a put the chmod will only work for files not directories). At the end I always end up using a new TELNET task after the FTP and fixing everything I could not do with the FTP. Discussing with a collegue we came to the point that the overall design of the FTP task is probably to limited. Everytime someone tries something new the task has to be extended. The TELNET task is much more flexible. START Session - do whatever you want - STOP Session. In a native ftp session everybody is working in the same way. Open the session, do several actions, close it. I don't see why the FTP task cannot be implemented that way. Am I missing something there? Wouldn't it be a good idea to refactore FTP task according to the TELNET task in order to use the same paradigm? Apart from the "migration-problem" of exsiting ant-scripts using FTP I don't see any problems. On the other sides other enhancement request like "use one ftp session for several commands" would become obsolete then.
