This time we will try to create more complex build task. This will be FTP uploader. Keep reading.

Since this is a feature that I am going to use frequently, well, every time I start a new project, this is a must have functionality. In this post I will give you a complete solution I’ve came up with.

Then I will show you how to start a powershell session from a machine over the internet using a secure connection.
