Hi Luis,
          Thanks a ton. But, I have the suggested file too under ANT_HOME/lib, the name being ant-commons-net.jar and it contains the FTP.class and other associated ftp classes. And while executing, only ftp its failing, other tasks like javac, copying etc are completed fine.......its frustrating.
 
Hope some one has faced the situation and can reply. 

Thanks,
satya

It seems you are missing commons-net.jar; from Ant Manual[1]:

commons-net.jar | ftp, rexec and telnet tasks | http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/index.html 

Try it.

Subject: Problem in using ftp with ant 1.6.1


Hi All,

I am trying to make use of ...like 

userid="user_name" 
password="password" 
remotedir="/home/user_name/"
port="21"
binary="true">


But its saying
Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.

This is common and has a number of causes; the usual
solutions are to read the manual pages then download and
install needed JAR files, or fix the build file:
- You have misspelt 'ftp'.
Fix: check your spelling.
- The task needs an external JAR file to execute
and this is not found at the right place in the classpath.
Fix: check the documentation for dependencies.
Fix: declare the task........................
........................................

So, I thought it might need optional.jar. And I downloaded the latest one jakarta-ant-1.4.1-optional.jar and copied it under ANT_HOME\lib

But still no luck :(. I am using ant 1.6.1 and this one I did not build, just unzipped the downloaded zip file.

All the environment variables like ANT_HOME, JAVA_HOME and their inclusion in PATH are proper.

Do I need to copy some other version of optional.jar??? Saw some where that this optional.jar not any more a single jar rather it is split in multiple from ant 1.6.0 onwards.

Or do I really need to copy the optional.jar as documentation says these already packed with the core ant?????

I feel I am just missing some basic thing....and a BIG THANKS for any kind of help.....

Reagrds,
satya
