Answer 1

ftpAntTask is fairly simple to use.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}
repositories{
    mavenCentral()
}

configurations {
    ftpAntTask
}

dependencies {
    ftpAntTask("org.apache.ant:ant-commons-net:1.8.4") {
        module("commons-net:commons-net:1.4.1") {
            dependencies "oro:oro:2.0.8:jar"
        }
    }
}

task ftp << {
    ant {
        taskdef(name: 'ftp',
                classname: 'org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.FTP',
                classpath: configurations.ftpAntTask.asPath)
        ftp(server: "(removed)", userid: "(removed)", password: "(removed)", remoteDir: "(removed)") {
            fileset(dir: "(removed)") {
                include(name: "(removed)")
            }
        }
    }
}

Answer 2

Use apache commons net library. There's an example of FTPClient usage.

You also need to configure dependencies for the build script itself. Following code does it:

import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'commons-net:commons-net:3.3'
    }
}

task upload << {
     def ftp = new FTPClient()
     //following logic..
}
