Automatic build and push zip/tar.gz to website directory

Question

I'm trying to automate having a "nightly" build of a project of mine. I want to take the head of a git repo and compile using ant build script, then package into a zip and tar.gz then push to a directory on a website (ftp, scp, or sFtp are all file options). I think I need something like Bamboo from Altassian, but this costs too much for my hobby project at the moment. Am I on the right track and need to keep looking for something similar, is there a better way -- any ideas?

Thanks.

Answer 1

there are free open source alternatives. you could use jenkins to do this, for example

Answer 2

Try Hudson

Many projects use this.
