title: Maven site deploy using ftp
body: <p>I am using Maven2 and would like to deploy my generated site to a web server using ftp.</p>
  
  <p>i tried to use:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;distributionManagement&gt;
      &lt;site&gt;
          &lt;id&gt;website&lt;/id&gt;
          &lt;url&gt;ftp://host/pub/&lt;/url&gt;
      &lt;/site&gt;
  
  &lt;/distributionManagement&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the problem is that get an error that ftp is not supported.
  could it be that this basic feature doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
  
  <p>Ronen.</p>
