For both scenarios, you can do an exec with scp and ssh...
<exec executable="scp">
<arg value="${file.to.copy}" />
<arg line="${remote.user}@${remote.host}:${new.filename}" />
</exec>
For this one, the password prompt worked find, but the output was swallowed.
Not sure why.

I got prompted for a password, and it worked just fine. The simple "ls
-al" command worked and I got the correct output.
In either case, you should be using public/private keys instead of passwords;
its much safer.
