Bug ID: 63226
Summary: documentation : FTP task is wrong about followsymlinks
Product: Ant
Version: 1.10.5
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P2
Component: Optional Tasks
Assignee: notifications@ant.apache.org
Reporter: eugene.ad...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The documentation (https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/ftp.html) says :
"The attribute followsymlinks of fileset is supported on local ("put") as well
as remote ("get", "chmod", "delete") filesets."
In fact it is also supported on the remote "list".
Here is the proof, we get two different results when using or not this
attribute, the differences being on symlinks.
ANT targets :
<target name="listingWithSymlinks">
<ftp action="list"
listing="listingWithSymlinks.txt"
server="ftp.ietf.org"
port="21"
remotedir="/rfc/fyi"
userid="anonymous"
password="anonymous" >
<fileset dir="." defaultexcludes="no" includes="*" />
</ftp>
</target>
<target name="listingWithoutSymlinks">
<ftp action="list"
listing="listingWithoutSymlinks.txt"
server="ftp.ietf.org"
port="21"
remotedir="/rfc/fyi"
userid="anonymous"
password="anonymous" >
<fileset dir="." defaultexcludes="no" includes="*"
followsymlinks="false" />
</ftp>
</target>
$ diff -y listingWithSymlinks.txt listingWithoutSymlinks.txt
