I have added it in my pom.xml inside <build>... The only diff is I am
using 1.0-alpha-6

Thanks,

You need the ftp extension:
<extensions>
<extension>

<groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>
<artifactId>wagon-ftp</artifactId>
<version>1.0-alpha-5</version>
</extension>
</extensions>

How do I configure Internal Remote repository for FTP access? I am
getting:

[INFO] artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin: checking for
updates

from central

[WARNING] repository metadata for: 'artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin' could not be retrieved from repository: central due to an error: Unsupported Protocol: 'ftp': Cannot find wagon which supports the requested protocol: ftp

[INFO] Repository 'central' will be blacklisted

As far as FTP access is concerned, I can do:

1) ftp://ip_address/pub in the browser and it shows the directory.
I can traverse the repository from the browser. The FTP is enabled for
anonymous access.

2) From Windows command prompt, I can type ftp <ip_address> and
then enter anonymous/anonymous to log in successfully.

I have in my settings.xml

<settings>

<server>

<id>central</id>

<username>anonymous</username>

<password>anonymous</password>

</server>

...

<profiles>

<profile>

<id>myConfig-dev</id>

<repositories>

<repository>

<id>central</id>

<name>NCC Repository</name>

<url>ftp://ip_address//pub</url>

<snapshots>

<enabled>true</enabled>

</snapshots>

</repository>

</repositories>

<activation>

<property>

<name>env</name>

<value>dev</value>

</property>

</activation>

</profile>

<profiles>

<activeProfiles>

<activeProfile>myConfig-dev</activeProfile>

</activeProfiles>

<settings>

Thanks,

Sandeep
