How to enable compression in SSH/SCP task?
Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to enable compression on SCP
task? If it is, how?
If this is currently not possible, where and how can I log an
enhancement request? On the ant website it says write on the mailing
list. Is this offical way to log enhancement request?
Kind regards,
Damjan

I can't see any licensing problem and if the patch can be written in a
manner that a user doesn't need jzlib to run scp without compression
(I don't have a problem with a compile time dependency) then this new
dependency wouldn't hurt at all.

SCP task has been using jsch[1] internally, and
it has supported the packet compression by using jzlib[2].
The jzlib has been licensed under the revised BSD license. If it is allowed
to use jzlib in SCP task, it will be easy to add the support for the
requested functionality.

AFAIK, the compression option is currently not supported in the scp task.
Using the old school exec task in this manner - <exec executable="scp"
...><arg line="-C ..."/></exec>, might be a quick workaround.
