Add attribute to allow remote dir creation during a send or put action





------- Additional Comments From Brian_Scully@adp.com  2003-05-30 13:14 -------
I have the same problem as Peter(circa Ant 1.5.3.1).  My ant task deploys files 
to a remote tomcat server.  Whenever I create a new web application, I have to 
create the following directories under the application root:

<root>/WEB-INF/lib
<root>/WEB-INF/classes

After I do that the deployment works fine.  Two of my Ant targets follow:

  <ftp server="${ftp.server}"
       remotedir="${ftp.app.root.dir}/WEB-INF/lib"
       userid="${ftp.user}"
       password="${ftp.password}"
       ignoreNoncriticalErrors="true"
       verbose="true">
    <fileset dir="${libdir}" excludes="servlet.jar"/>
  </ftp>

  <ftp server="${ftp.server}"
       remotedir="${ftp.app.root.dir}/WEB-INF/classes"
       userid="${ftp.user}"
       password="${ftp.password}"
       ignoreNoncriticalErrors="true">
    <fileset dir="${classdir}" includes="**/*.class"
             excludes="**/*.java,**/*.gif,**/*.jpg,**/*.xml"/>
    <fileset dir="deployment" excludes="web.xml"/>
  </ftp>

Seeing as the ftp task mkdir bug is still open (don't know the number), options 
here are limited to manual login & mkdir.

It seems the priority on this one is pretty low - it's been open for over a 
year without assignment.  Maybe the Ant team should close it as "WILL NOT BE 
FIXED"?
