Try with <get src=file:///C:/foo.jar />. I believe you need the additional slash, but I could be wrong. --DD

The following does not work (output is Error getting file://C:/foo.jar): <get src="file://C:/foo.jar" usetimestamp="true" verbose="on" dest="${stage.lib}/foo.jar"/> The Ant 1.5 manual states that "Any URL schema supported by the runtime is valid here, including http:, ftp: and jar:; ...". Although it does not explicitly include file:, isn't it a valid URL schema? Works in web browser. Normally the 'get' would point to a web server and use http:, but want to be able to change it to local file system when working in environment that does not have network access. Tried looking in archive, but the keywords 'get', 'task', 'file' are a little too generic to find any useful information on. Thanks. -Tom -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
