FTP problems in Ant 1.5.2

           Summary: FTP problems in Ant 1.5.2
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Optional Tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: matt@stargus.com


I've noticed that upgrading to 1.5.2 seems to have "broken" one of my ftp 
tasks. The ftp task in question uploads a several levels deep directory 
structure to a remote system. This always worked fine in the past, but in Ant 
1.5.2, I get the following:

BUILD FAILED
file:C:/master/starman/build/build.xml:1588: could not change to directory: 550
starnode\admin: No such file or directory.

The issue is caused by the fact that I don't explicitly create all the 
directories on the remote system, only the top level directory, and in the 
past, Ant seemed to just generate the remote sub-directories under the top 
level directory as needed during the transfer on the fly. Is this something to 
do with separators ('/' Vs. '\') being changed in Ant 1.5.2? It looks like the 
fact that it's coming from Window$ and going to Unix and the separators is the 
issue, but this was never a problem in the past...
