I figured out the space issue, you can single quote the args successfully.

Here is an example of using Ant to run a shell script via CYGWIN (be sure the shell script is formatted for unix): <exec executable="c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe"> <arg value="--login"/> <arg value="-c"/> <arg value="/cygdrive/c/BuildDeployScripts/scp_files.sh ${scp.keyfile} ${fileToSCP} ${scp.user} ${scp.remote.host} ${scp.target.dir}"/> </exec> Note that all arguments to the script in this case must be on the same <arg> as the script file or they won't show up as args to the script, but rather, args to bash. I haven't figured out how to send an argument with spaces in it, but I'm sure you Ant guru's could tell me. Any help there? I tried 'myScript.sh "argument with spaces" arg2', but that didn't work. CYGWIN wants spaces escaped.
