Kevin, When you say removing a directory on the ftp server, how do you do it? Do you ftp to the server, and use the ftp task to delete the directory, (e.g. <write>rm -r target ), or do you ftp to the server, and call another ant script to delete it?

However, there is still no way to remove a directory on the ftp server using Ant. Have you got a work around? BTW, thank for you reply. Regards, Kevin Wong.

Do you try to delete files recursively through another ant file in the remote server? Have you tried using that build.xml locally and see if it works? Please provide more details or maybe a piece of code so that we can take a look at. Rubun T -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 10:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: recursive deletion using ftp task Hi, I am trying to use the ftp task to recursive delete files and folder on a ftp server. I am using a fileset to specify the files to be deleted. However, if wildcard is used to specifiy recursive folders in the include of the fileset, the task will not work. The task works fine deleting multiple files in a single directory, but not recursively into the sub-directories. I also tried using multiple includes for the fileset. This turns out that only the last include in the list will be executed. Moreover, I cannot find a way to remove a directory on the server using the ftp task. Are there anyway to do this? Any help would be appreciated. TIA Kevin Wong. ********************************************************************** CAUTION - This message is intended for the addressee named above.
