-------------------------------------------------------------

I guess I could instead of creating the symlink on remote, create it on local and rsync it to remote, since I'm now getting problems w/ host keys trying to sftp from local to itself. :(

Note that using rsync -a is equivalent to --links, which is what I've been using to preserve permissions and ownership:

{code}
 -a, --archive               archive mode; equals -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X)
 -l, --links                 copy symlinks as symlinks
{code}

HOWEVER, this won't solve the "move folders & delete others over sftp" that I'm using in JBIDE-8667.

> I see we have more and more latestBuild.html present all over and I'm suggestion we replace those with "latest" symbolic links instead.
> Here is how to automate that on downloads.jboss.org at least:
> echo -e "rm latest\nln 2011-06-27_10-25-32-H2980 latest" | sftp tools at filemgmt.jboss.org:/downloads_htdocs/tools/builds/nightly/trunk
> The actual paths should of course be replaced with proper variable replacements.
