Deploying WAR unarchived? [message #1558054]

Is there any good way to deploy Maven-generated WAR archive in an unarchived form to another server?

The server I'd like to use can automatically deploy application from a version control system, but I don't think it is a good idea to check in a compressed WAR archive under version control. Is it a good practice to unarchive WAR archive and check in (or commit) the contents by a Hudson job?

Main reason why checking in WAR is not a good idea is, SCM is not good at keeping differential increment of binaries, unlike textual entries like source code. So for every version, WAR is stored in its entirety thus increasing the size of repository. Well, you could commit unarchived WAR, but since war contents are mostly binary entities, it is not much of help either.

- Is deploying directly using deploy plugin not an option?
- If you have issue with remote deployment, you could use FTP or SCP plugin to copy the WAR to the machine where you have the appserver and then use SSH plugin to run proper script to undeploy/deploy the war to the appserver.

FTP is not secure as passwords are sent in plain. The service does provides only FTP/FTPS, automatic deployment from a version control system, and a proprietary protocol. Does any Hudson plugin support FTPS?
