1.5beta2 - new problem with FTP task

[Richard Beton <ri...@roke.co.uk>]

  I've been using the FTP task with Ant 1.4 and latterly Ant 1.5b1 to 
upload my website. It's a useful tool, uploading only the changes, 
although it's rather slow.

I got Ant1.5b2 and then the FTP task stopped working. It failed when it 
came to a directory that already exists, because it couldn't create the 
directory (humph!). Here's an excerpt from by buildfile:

  <target name="ftp-sync-txt"
          description="=== Synchronise Website Text Files ===">

    <ftp server="${ftp.server}"
         userid="${username}"
         password="${password}"
         depends="yes"
         binary="no"
         verbose="no"
         passive="yes"
         remotedir="${rem.fs.dir}/users/${username}/whr/${root.dir}">
       <fileset dir="${root.dir}">
         <patternset refid="text.files"/>
       </fileset>
    </ftp>
    <sound>
      <success source="${good.wav}" />
      <fail    source="${bad.wav}" />
    </sound>
  </target>

Is this a new bug in Ant1.5b2?

we did make changes to this task, but they were meant to be fixes.

what happens when you set ignorenoncriticalerrors=true ?

Its a regression. We put a fix in to fix something, and it looks like it
isnt backwards compatible enough without saying 'ignore minor whinings we
get from the far end'. This does need looking at, probably by me, since I
was the one who made the changes. sorry.

As to why we dont look to see if a directory exists before creating it, see
the past messages about not being able to read DOS file systems and the like
properly; always creating directories works around that.

	I got Ant1.5b2 and then the FTP task stopped working. It failed when it

	directory (humph!). Here's an excerpt from by buildfile:

I am new-ish to Ant, and happened to be using FTP for the first time with
Ant1.5b2. As such I don't know if this is bug or intentional.

Anyways I was forced to put this to get past the problem:

	      ignoreNoncriticalErrors="yes"

Here is what I had to do:

                        <taskdef name="ftp"
classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.FTP"/>

                        <ftp    server="xxxx"
                                remotedir="drop/classes/${openbiz.part}"
                                userid="xxxx"
                                password="xxxx"
                                  action="mkdir"
                                        ignoreNoncriticalErrors="yes"
                                        />
                        <ftp    server="xxxxx"

remotedir="drop/classes/${openbiz.part}/${openbiz.version.string}"
                                userid="xxxx"
                                password="xxxx"
                                        action="mkdir"
                                        ignoreNoncriticalErrors="yes"
                                        />
                        <ftp    server="xxxxxx"

remotedir="drop/classes/${openbiz.part}/${openbiz.version.string}"
                                userid="xxxx"
                                password="xxxx"
                                binary="yes"
                                        >
                        <fileset dir="${dist}/${openbiz.part}"/>
                        </ftp>

It seemed a bit clunky, but it worked.
