issue getting file using scp call within ant

[Dan Symula <ds...@us.ibm.com>]

Ive built a fairly simple ant script to go to several different machines 
and get some files.  The script runs correctly, and gives no error 
messages. However, for two of the machines it goes to, the files are not 
received, the other two it does receive files. The output says the file is 
being recieved, but it does not show up. The script uses the scp command. 
I can manually get the file using the sftp command, so it seems 
communication is working bewtween machines. It also seems that there is no 
syntax type error, since the file builds, and works for half the machines. 
Im stumped to explain what is happening.. Any suggestions would be 
appreciated.

Thanks

Ive done a search for the file using find command and it does not show up. 
 This is UNIX by the way. So no I have not made a mistake in the code and 
lost the file.  Ive also hardcoded variables and tried the script in this 
way. The file still does not show up.

If I am missing jars, it would seem that I wouldnt be able to get any 
files. If I am using an incompatible ant version, I again would thinkg scp 
wouldnt work at all...

Still searching...

Since you haven't provided any code and say that you aren't getting any
error messages and you do successfully get files from two of the machines, 
I
can only guess that you have made a mistake in your code and are actually
receiving the files from all 4 machines but, in the case of two of the
machines, you aren't writing them to where you intended to write them on
your local machine. Perhaps the variable describing the target directory
does not have the value you think it does and the files are actually 
getting
written to a different directory.

If that doesn't turn out to be the problem, perhaps you need to check that
you are using a current version of Ant and of the jsch jar. See the 
Library
Dependencies section of the manual for the details of what jars you need 
and
where to get them.
