Re: SCP Ant Syntax

[Joe Consumer <fa...@yahoo.com>]

Why not have the syntax be optional?  For example,
<scp file="host:/home/chuck/*" todir="/home/gus"
identity="${user.dir}/.ssh/identity" passphrase="You
know it" />

vs.

<scp file="user:pwd@host:/home/chuck/*"
tofile="/home/gus" />

It would basically be looking for an '@' character
then if it's not there checking for RSA certificates
and passphrases.

For RSA auth, you don't need a user name or password. 
Just your RSA certificiate and passphrase.  This is
very similiar to how SCP works on the command line,
and it would be familiar to users.

BTW, I tried sending some code to the list, and I was
rejected for being greater than 100K.  All I need now
is some tests for the task.  Documentation, the code,
and renamed packages are done.  I was going to send it
to the list for people to try out before I actually
submit it.

I also meant to ask about support for filesets in scp. Does your scp 
task support them? Something like:

<scp from="local" to="user@host:/dir">
    <fileset dir="somedir">
        <include name="somedir"/>
    </fileset>
</scp>

Thanks,

Dale

How about support for this case:

<scp file="user:pwd@host:/dir/file" tofile="other:pwd@otherhost:/dir/file"/>

That is, scp between two remote hosts.

Is your code available for download somewhere?

Sounds good.

BTW, does jsch support DSA keys as well?
