Yes it does. You need to get hold of a jar file to get it to work, 
though. See note at top of this page:

http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/scp.html

I find SCP sooooo much more satisfying than FTP. FTP seems so dated and 
clunky.

If you can access your server by SSH, you should be able to access it 
via SCP, just with host/user/pass.

I tried out './cocoon.sh cli -d 
ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/destionationdir -c build/mycustomwebapp'. I 
think this syntax is correct but I got the errormessage: 'Source is 
not modifiable:'
Hmmm. Should work. Seems that another ftp source is blocking the Avalon 
ftp source.

The ftp-task of ant has a depends attribute.  transfers only new or 
changed files if set to "yes". Defaults to "no".
Yup. But that is using timestamps to identify whether a file has 
changed. And the CLI/ant task will overwrite all files every time they 
are generated, thus rendering the depends task useless. This is why I 
was suggesting using checksums rather than timestamps.

HTH.

    There are two ways. My original plan for the CLI was to allow the
    CLI to
    do its own FTP with modifiable sources, then when I clicked to the
    benefits of Ant, modifiable sources didn't seem quite so important.

    So, you can:
    1) Use Ant task to build site, then have Ant upload the site with FTP
    (or better, SCP), or
    2) Use a modifiable source - there is one now a modifiable FTP
    source in
    the Excalibur source package, which should mean that you can just
    use 
    ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:host/path/file as your destination URI.

    The question is, how to best prevent the uploading of unchanged
    files.
    There is 'unannounced' code in Cocoon to do this, but Ant is probably
    better at it. I believe it can store checksums locally, and use
    them to
    decide whether a file has changed, and then only upload changed files.
    HTH.
