Use Apache Ant with MFT

Managed File Transfer provides tasks used to integrate file transfer function into the Apache Ant tool.

We can use the fteAnt command to run Ant tasks in a Managed File Transfer environment that we have already configured. We can use file transfer Ant tasks from your Ant scripts to coordinate complex file transfer operations from an interpreted scripting language.

For more information about Apache Ant, see the Apache Ant project web page: https://ant.apache.org/
