Then it's possible to use the Ant task for FTP (within its remaining limitations) but have an encrypted network connection. Other connections can ride "shotgun" over the same IPSec tunnel if desired -- TN3270E, Telnet, SNTP, NFS, MQ, HTTP, database connections (e.g. JDBC), IP sockets, Enterprise Extender, CIFS/SMB, etc. You can also configure separate IPSec tunnels to support connections that shouldn't be combined on the same tunnel. There's a lot of merit in an IPSec-based approach, including for developers who might need half a dozen connection types to a development LPAR all at once. You can encrypt them separately of course (and probably should in many use cases), or you can ride them all over IPSec.
