it appears so, it seems that calling a mapped path like for example: G:\test\builddir will only work when you are logged in for that mapped drive to take effect. The UNC seems to work all the time.

I hope this cuts down the headaches for other people that might read this.

So using a UNC path works while you are not logged in to the server?

I figured it out by just calling it by machine name.

using the destination directory as \\testserver\directory path seemed to work. Just don’t forget to make sure the directory has the correct permissions to allow for the sync.

Hope this helps.

Hmmm – that I’m at a loss how to fix. :(

We are running our Ant tasks on a Windows 2003 server on our internal network. It works great when we are logged in but we don’t want to have the server logged in all the time. We would prefer it locked most of the time unless one of our IT staff is using it.

I’m assuming your Ant tasks are running on a workstation somewhere? Have you considering moving it to the server?

The only problem I have with this is that it requires a user logged into the server for the mapped drives to work. I have my ANT tasks running automatically 4 times a day and the server is sometimes locked. When this happens then the mapped drives don’t work, am I missing something?

@Noah – glad you got it working!

I don't know what I was doing wrong, but it was as simple as just mapping a drive and then calling it in my fileset. This is a test Thanks for asking if I was using a mapped drive. It was that easy.

So you have Server A which has your SVN Repo.

You want to export a project from Server A to Server B?
