Question

We have tried using ant ftp tasks, but could not get it working like shown below:

<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>ftp</id>
                    <phase>generate-resources</phase>
                    <configuration>
                        <target>
                            <ftp action="get" server="192.168.168.xxx" userid="anonymous"
                                password="anonymous">
                                <fileset dir="Folder/tools/toolX">
                                    <include name="**/*.*" />
                                </fileset>
                            </ftp>
                        </target>
                    </configuration>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>run</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
                ....

Thanks in advance!

maven-antrun-plugin provides ant runtime with base set of tasks only.
For other tasks you need to provide them as dependencies (with their dependencies, if needed).
‘ftp’ case is used as an example of this problem on maven’s site, you may find complete example there:
