Hi, I've done a small start for the ftp task. Well, it's a small start. Basicly I'm capable of downloading / uploading one file at a time.
I used code from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dotnetftpclient/ to get this tasks running. My tests run smoothly, but there are some features that are missing to call this complete. I post it here, because this work could complement the release plan, so if you're interested in taking this into the nant sources - take it. This doesn't mean I wouldn't participate further in developing this tasks ;). I splitted the ftp into ftpdown and ftpup, that made the start easier. And IMHO two tasks are easier than one task with a switch. Some errorhandling is missing (no connection to server). So expect it to crash hard if something does'nt run as expected. Here is a short overview of what is implemented right now: ftpup task ---------- optional attributes: * user defaulting to anonymous * password defaulting to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * remotefile Give a path and file name for remote server required attributes: * file local file to upload * server server to upload to ftpdown task ------------ optional attributes: * user defaulting to anonymous * password defaulting to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * file how to save file required attributes: * server server to upload to * remotefile what file to download The folowing points are open but known how to implement: - ftp mode (active/passive) - file mode (binary / ascii) - fileset (download/upload more than one file Currently I'm not sure how to implement a complete ftp script, that is doing more than one ftp command (create dir, delete file, etc) without reconnecting everytime. I could imagine something like a fileset for implementing custom ftp commands, but I'm not yet sure about this. I tend to give that task a name of it's own - say ftpscript. In my personal priority list it's last, since I need upload most and downloading a file is somehow the same. The used ftp code and the task code can be downloaded (url see below). There are no binaries in it (neither for the ftp library nor for the nant tasks). But there are build scripts in the subdirectories. Those scripts should be self-explanatory.
