Upload Static Files ONLY to Google App Engine

Question

My intention is to upload just static html file to google app engine. No servlets, no JSPs.

I have the following directory structure

C:\Users\yccheok\Desktop\sandbox\index.html
C:\Users\yccheok\Desktop\sandbox\WEB-INF\appengine-web.xml
C:\Users\yccheok\Desktop\sandbox\WEB-INF\web.xml

The content of appengine-web.xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appengine-web-app xmlns="http://appengine.google.com/ns/1.0"&gt;
    <application>xiang-qi</application>
    <version>1</version>
</appengine-web-app>

The content of web.xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
 "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
 "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"&gt;

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" version="2.5">
</web-app>

I use the following command :

C:\Users\yccheok\Desktop\sandbox>c:\appengine-java-sdk-1.2.2\bin\appcfg.cmd upda
te .

But it just hang there :

You need to explicitly specify paths to static files - see the docs for details. If appcfg is just hanging, though, that looks like a separate issue. Are you behind a proxy server of some sort?
