Hmmm, well being that we currently ftp, I would agree with you that I should just use the scp task.
Thanks, Gary.

Much depends upon your internal setup, administration and security constraints. Probably the best approach is to use the scp task from the NantContrib project. I haven't used it, so I don't know whether it requires Cygwin or how well it works, but it is on my long term list. For the moment, we're using Samba to mount the UNIX disks, and vanilla copy. Samba raises its own set of administrative and security issues, but if you already have it, there's no reason not to use it.
