Can anyone help me with the Ant optional ftp task? I'm finally using Ant
again for the first time in a couple of years and running into some
problems.
I'm using Ant 1.7.0 and my build is basically working fine, aside from
some issues with the ftp task. My mkdir and send actions are working
fine so I know that this is not an installation issue, such as missing
jars.
the usual thing that breaks FTP is a wierd directory listing at the far
end. What server/language are you using and what does a listing look
like? (we do warn about this at the top of the task, but maybe the
language there could be clearer)
Here are my problems:
1. I keep getting a MalformedPatternException when I try to do an ftp
with action="list". It seems to be objecting to the listing
parameter. I have tried all the variations I can imagine but
nothing works.
could be the response from the far end. Try running at -debug and
posting the relevant output as a bug report.
2. My action="send" operations work fine as long as I omit the
depends="yes" parameter. When I include depends="yes", I get
MalformedPatternException on the line containing the remotedir
parameter.
Same game. Its trying to parse the date at the far end and failing.
Also, with respect to the listing parameter of action="list", can
someone please clarify whether the file identified in the listing
parameter is on the server or the remote machine? The documentation is
not clear on this point. I've looked on both machines and can't find the
file on either one; it would save me a bit of time if I knew I didn't
have to look on one of the two machines.
remotedir: base directory from which files are listed
fileset: the remote files located under the remotedir matching the
include/exclude patterns of the fileset
so, the nested files are the things to list.
