FTP optional task does not work with correct setup

[j2...@flashmail.com]

I can not get the FTP optional task to work.
I have the taskdev setup properly.  I have
all required jars in my classpath (ant, optional.jar
and the 3rd party jars downloaded and in my lib directory.

The error message from ant is:


I have many other custom taskdef's setup so I know things
are configured properly.  What is up with FTP?  The archive
seems to have a lot of postings but because of all the noise
there can not seem to find exactly what I am looking for even
after a keyword search.

Here is my taskdef defined in build.xml:
   <taskdef file="${ant.dir}/custom_anttasks.properties">
      <classpath refid="devclasspath" />
   </taskdef>

Here is the custom_anttasks.properties file (checkstyle, pmd and jalopy
work
so I know my taskdef and .properties file is setup properly)

	checkstyle=com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.CheckStyleTask
	pmd=net.sourceforge.pmd.ant.PMDTask
	ftp=org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.FTP

Here is the ftp task

  <target name="devDeploy"
      description="Puts files (dist/*.jar) on dev server">


      <ftp server="${dev.host}"
         userid="${dev.login}"
         password="${dev.password}"
         remotedir="${dev.deploy.dir}"
         separator="/"
         verbose="yes">

         <!-- local files to deploy -->

         <fileset dir="${dist.dir}">
            <include name="**/*.jar"/>
         </fileset>
      </ftp>
   </target>

Here is my dev classpath setup

   <path id="devclasspath">
      <fileset dir="${devlib.dir}">
         <include name="**/*.jar" />
      </fileset>
   </path>

checkstyle, pmd, jalopy work so I know my dev classpath is setup properly.
I know that my taskdef is setup properly.
