Hi all,
Is there any tutorial to show how can I use MSBuild
tasks like FtpUploadDirectoryContent
to copy file/directory to a remote host using FTP in Team Build 2010? I never used a MSBuild task in TFS 2010.

Just put it in the AfterBuild target of one of your projects - probably best to put it in the project that's at the top of your dependency graph. You can add a condition if you don't want it to run in Visual Studio, or if you only want to do the FTP transfer for a particular build configuration. For example:
<Project>
...
<Target Name="AfterBuild" Condition="'$(BuildingInsideVisualStudio)'!='true'" >
<!-- Insert your FTP task here -->
</Target>
</Project>
You might consider modifying your build process template (WF) and using the InvokeProcess activity call out to FTP.exe.
There are also a handful of FTP activities and command line utilties if the built in Windows FTP command line client doesn't work for you.
