scp task does not correctly handle directories

[Jean-Noël Rivasseau <el...@gmail.com>]

Hi

I am using Ant 1.6.5 and Ant 1.7 on Gentoo Linux amd64, and the same
behavior appears.

When using the scp task, I cannot copy a directory that contains
subdirectories. When copying a directory that has no subdirectories, things
work fine, but any directory with subdirs in it will cause the scp task to
hang.

By hang, I mean that the scp task when Ant is loaded from the command line
never finishes.

Should a bug report be filed? Is this normal behavior?

My code:

    <scp todir="elvanor@elvanor.net:/home/elvanor/test/" port="23"
keyfile="${user.home}/.ssh/id_rsa" passphrase="" verbose="true">
        <fileset dir="build/WEB-INF/classes" includes="**/*" />
    </scp>

Note that there are no errors related to authentication or whatever. Just
changing the fileset dir attribute to some directory that has no
subdirectories makes the whoile thing work perfectly.
