    public class FTP

extends Task

Basic FTP client. Performs the following actions:

- send - send files to a remote server. This is the default action.
- get - retrieve files from a remote server.
- del - delete files from a remote server.
- list - create a file listing.
- chmod - change unix file permissions.
- rmdir - remove directories, if empty, from a remote server.

Note: Some FTP servers - notably the Solaris server - seem to hold data ports open after a "retr" operation, allowing them to timeout instead of shutting them down cleanly. This happens in active or passive mode, and the ports will remain open even after ending the FTP session. FTP "send" operations seem to close ports immediately. This behavior may cause problems on some systems when downloading large sets of files.

Since:
  Ant 1.3

    `BuildException` - in unknown circumstances

### sendFile

    protected void sendFile(org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient ftp,

                            BuildException

  Sends a single file to the remote host. `filename` may contain a relative path specification. When this is the case, `sendFile` will attempt to create any necessary parent directories before sending the file. The file will then be sent using the entire relative path spec - no attempt is made to change directories. It is anticipated that this may eventually cause problems with some FTP servers, but it simplifies the coding.

  Parameters:
    `ftp` - ftp client
    `dir` - base directory of the file to be sent (local)
    `filename` - relative path of the file to be send locally relative to dir remotely relative to the remotedir attribute

                           BuildException

  Delete a file from the remote host.

  Parameters:
    `ftp` - ftp client
    `filename` - file to delete
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - in unknown circumstances

                           java.lang.String dir,
                           java.lang.String filename)
                    throws java.io.IOException,
                           BuildException

  Retrieve a single file from the remote host. `filename` may contain a relative path specification.

  The file will then be retreived using the entire relative path spec - no attempt is made to change directories. It is anticipated that this may eventually cause problems with some FTP servers, but it simplifies the coding.

  Parameters:
    `ftp` - the ftp client
    `dir` - local base directory to which the file should go back
    `filename` - relative path of the file based upon the ftp remote directory and/or the local base directory (dir)
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - in unknown circumstances
    `BuildException` - if skipFailedTransfers is false and the file cannot be retrieved.

### listFile

    protected void listFile(org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient ftp,
                            java.io.BufferedWriter bw,
                            java.lang.String filename)
                     throws java.io.IOException,
                            BuildException

  List information about a single file from the remote host. `filename` may contain a relative path specification.

  The file listing will then be retrieved using the entire relative path spec - no attempt is made to change directories. It is anticipated that this may eventually cause problems with some FTP servers, but it simplifies the coding.

  Parameters:
    `ftp` - ftp client
    `bw` - buffered writer
    `filename` - the directory one wants to list
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - in unknown circumstances
    `BuildException` - in unknown circumstances

### makeRemoteDir

    protected void makeRemoteDir(org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient ftp,
                                 java.lang.String dir)
                          throws java.io.IOException,
                                 BuildException

  Create the specified directory on the remote host.

  Parameters:
    `ftp` - The FTP client connection
    `dir` - The directory to create (format must be correct for host type)
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - in unknown circumstances
    `BuildException` - if ignoreNoncriticalErrors has not been set to true and a directory could not be created, for instance because it was already existing. Precisely, the codes 521, 550 and 553 will trigger a BuildException

### execute

    public void execute()
                 throws BuildException

  Runs the task.

  Overrides:
    `execute` in class `Task`
  Throws:
    `BuildException` - if the task fails or is not configured correctly.
