Neeme:
Is Ant the right tool for your job? Ant is a build tool, not an
all-purpose scripting language. If what you describe is all you're
doing, you might consider a script written in perl or python, or perhaps
in java using commons-net directly. Or if you're in a j2ee container

ok, clear enough.
I'll look into the source code of the ftp task and play around with it a
bit.
Another suggestion for that task is to allow retry-in-case-of-failure,
not just abort or ignore as in the current version. But I'll take those

comparing server time to the local time and those usually are out-of-sync.
I would like to have it 100% precise: to

2. manipulates the time according to timezone settings
3. compares it to the time on the l
