This is almost a different task. <interactive-ftp> or some such. What it lacks is the ability to deal with filesets. If the files are not in your local current directory you'd have to be able to do LCD commands. It might work, it might even be useful, but in some sense, it's not quite the "ant way", for good or for ill. I hadn't ever really paid much attention to the <telnet> task before. After a quick look-see, I see that it depends reading certain prompts from the server. Which, I guess, is fine if you know exactly the server you are dealing with and it never changes. It may even be good - since you can adjust for any locale issues. I think a lot of the present users will not want to work this way. They'll not want to have to think about the specific prompts and such on the server. Another possible objection is how dependency checking will get done in the context of a sequential series of commands. As a series of separate targets, the dependency checking is relatively easy to understand. As a bunch of sequential commands sent to the server, it's much less so. I recommend creating a contribution of <interactive-ftp>. It shouldn't be that hard to do, I just don't think it fits into the <ftp> task as now developed. Possibly we can put it into the main stem if there is demand for it. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
