As I understand thing, the reload task just tells TomCat to reload the
war file that is in the webapp directory.
It is still your responsiblity to get the WAR file to the webapp directory.
It's a shame it doesn't support a file upload as part of the TomCat
task, but when I get annoyed enough I guess I'll write it! (I use samba
shares at the moment to copy to the webapp directory).
