How to FTP Empty Dirs

[kinjal <ki...@lionbridge.com>]

Hi All,

I am using FTP task of ANT as below:

<input message="Please enter the Drive latter you mapped for Components:"
			   addproperty="Component"/>
			   


<ftp  server="10.3.248.31"
	  userid="userid"
      password="password"
      remotedir="remotedir"
      verbose="yes">

	 	<fileset dir="${Component}\New Folder\">
				  <include name="**"/>
				
		</fileset>	

</ftp>

******************************************
This works fine, but there is some empty directories in "${Component}\New
Folder\" which are not being transfer. How to transfer them?

Reply me ASAP.

You could maybe do a verbose run, but realistically, you are into 
debugging distributed systems at this point, which means you are out of 
the world of easily replicable conditions.

-If you can, use <scp>. Its a far more reliable way of transferring 
files, because the structure of date/time is more formal. the ftp code 
has to parse the responses, and in the past has had trouble with 
localised text and windows.

-make sure you have the latest ftp libraries.
