David,
This is what I came up with... Do you think this will work...???
<target name="lib-ext">
<ftp server="${remoteHostName}"
userid="${remoteInstallUserId}" password="${remoteInstallPassword}"
remotedir="${remoteAppFtpDir}"
verbose="yes"
binary="yes"
action="put"
chmod="644">
<fileset dir="${existingExt.dir}">
<include name="*.jar"/>
<include name="*.properties"/>
<include name="*.txt"/>
<include name="*.xml"/>
<include name="*.xsd"/>
<modified>
<param name="sunt.ext.cachefile"
value="${tmpDir}/ftp-sunt-lib-ext-cache.properties"/>
</modified>
</fileset>
</ftp>
<if>
<available file="${existingExt.dir}" type="dir"/>
<then>
<echo message=""/>
<echo message="The are new file updates, starting ftp..."/>
<echo message=""/>
</then>
<else>
<echo message=""/>
<echo message="No file updates found, ftp will not be
performed..."/>
<echo message=""/>
</else>
</if>
</target>
Thanks
Chris
