Re: Ant1.6 - FTP task with MS FTP

I am a committer on commons-net and I have submitted code changes to 
commons-net that solve this problem.  If you pull down the latest code from 
commons-net, build, and replace the jar on your classpath, this will now 
work.  

We on commons-net are planning to release a new version of commons-net in the 
reasonably near future.  But the latest CVS code there will solve this 
problem, without requiring any changes to ant.
