Okay, I've been trying to get Netcomponent's optional ftp task to work, and I went over to one of there mailing lists, but someone was pretty sure my problem was just an Ant config one. He was a Linux user, and threw the simple ftp task tag block from my buildfile.xml into some of his code, and it successfully attempted to open a connection to my server. So, we've established that I didn't make an error there.
However, I've posted on here lately, and I've tried all the suggestions, but still nothing works. I successfully set ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME and the PATH. In fact, I've successfully compiled with Ant--I just can't get the optional ftp task to work. Basically, I downloaded NetComponents' stuff (including the JAR file necessary), and I've tried all sorts of different things--like putting the JAR file in my ant\lib directory, making sure that that's in the CLASSPATH, and yes, I also have the optional JAR that you're supposed to download and stick into your ant\lib directory (and it's in my classpath, too). I've tried this in both WinME and Win2000, but to no avail. Is there anything I need in the buildfile besides the following code: <ftp server="jungle.owlnet.rice.edu" userid="sirstevo" password="****"> <fileset dir="build"/> </ftp> Do I need a loadlib or taskdef or something like that, or SHOULD it be automatic? It still generates an error. Please help! The last part of the error message with -debug turned on looks like this: BUILD FAILED C:\antfiles\buildfile.xml:20: Unexpected element "ftp" at org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectHelper.parse(ProjectHelper.java:135) at org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectHelper.configureProject(ProjectHelper.jav a:85) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:439) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.start(Main.java:153) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.main(Main.java:176) Total time: 0 seconds C:\> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
