I ran into this situation with a site sync utility I was using. The Microsoft FTP 'ls' output is not Unix'ey. The tool I was using required you to set a flag to indicate that you were talking to MSFTP. The FTP task may not be handling this situation correctly.

To diagnose, I run ant with -verbose option and the message the ftp task returns for each file is: "Could not date test remote file: controller.jspassuming out of date." So it is obvious what the problem is but does anyone have a possible solution?? Here is the ftp task I'm using. I tried it with and without the passive option. I also removed the userID/password for obvious reasons. <ftp server="med-engineering.com" userid="XXXX" password="XXXXX" depends="yes" remotedir="med-engineering.com\test" passive="yes" verbose="yes"> <fileset dir="${webapp.dir}"> <include name="**\*.*"/> <exclude name="**\*.log"/> <exclude name="WEB-INF\work\**\*.*"/> <exclude name="**\*.war"/> <exclude name="**\*.*~"/> <exclude name="**\*.bak"/> <exclude name="**\package cache\*.*"/> <exclude name="**\*.jar"/> </fileset> </ftp> - Jay Eskandarian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
