FTP put problems

[Will Dyke <wi...@bbc.co.uk>]

I'm using the following test script to ftp files up to a server

<project name="fakebuild" default="ftp" basedir=".">

  <target name="ftp.properties.chk" if="ftp">
    <available file="ftp.properties" property="ftp.properties.exists"/>
  </target>

  <target name="ftp" depends="ftp.properties.chk"
if="ftp.properties.exists">
    <property file="ftp.properties"/>
    <ftp server="${ftp.server}" userid="${ftp.userid}"
password="${ftp.password}"
         action="put" binary="yes" verbose="yes">
      <fileset dir=".">
        <include name="*.xml"/>
      </fileset>
    </ftp>
  </target>

</project>

Running the command line ant -buildfile ftp-test.xml -Dftp=yes -debug
-verbose
results in the following:

Ant version 1.4 compiled on September 3 2001
Ant version 1.4 compiled on September 3 2001
Buildfile: ftp-test.xml
Detected Java version: 1.3 in: c:\jdk1.3\jre
Detected OS: Windows NT
parsing buildfile D:\ant\1.4\bin\ftp-test.xml with URI =
file:D:/ant/1.4/bin/ftp
-test.xml
Project base dir set to: D:\ant\1.4\bin
Build sequence for target `ftp' is [ftp.properties.chk, ftp]
Complete build sequence is [ftp.properties.chk, ftp]

ftp.properties.chk:

ftp:
 [property] Loading D:\ant\1.4\bin\ftp.properties
      [ftp] Opening FTP connection to www-cache-icl.reith.bbc.co.uk
      [ftp] connected
      [ftp] logging in to FTP server
      [ftp] login succeeded
      [ftp] disconnecting

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Total time: 1 second

No files are uploaded however. Snooping the ftp port at the server end also
confirms that everything apart from the upload goes ok. I'm guessing the
problem
is my <fileset> but can anyone confirm this or suggest an alternative
reason?

Thanks,
Will Dyke
