Hmm... okay, reading the doc for the <ftp> task it seems that <fileset> is
actually using the "remotedir" attribute (set outside of the <fileset>,
which seems really weird/wrong) as the dir to find the files in, and the
"dir" attribute (inside the <fileset>) as the dir on the local machine to
put the files into. So (if you haven't already tried this), you might try
using:
<ftp
  ...
  remotedir="/home/images">
  <fileset dir="${coImages}">
    <include name="**"/>
  </fileset>
</ftp>
which should (if I'm reading the doc right) get all the files under your
remote /home/images directory and put them into your local ${coImages}
directory.
