You can try wldeploy Ant task.
First, add task definition.
<taskdef name="wldeploy" classname="weblogic.ant.taskdefs.management.WLDeploy">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${weblogic.home}/server/lib/weblogic.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
Next, configure each action of wldeploy task, such as deploy, redeploy, or undeploy specifically.
Example,
<!-- The deployment name for the deployed application.
If you do not specify this attribute, WebLogic Server assigns a deployment name to the application, based on its archive file or exploded directory. -->
<property name="deploy.name" value="MyApp"/>
<!-- The archive file or exploded directory to deploy. -->
<property name="deploy.source" value="MyApp.ear"/>
<!-- The list of target servers to which the application is deployed.
The value of this attribute is a comma-separated list of the target servers, clusters, or virtual hosts.
If you do not specify a target list when deploying an application, the target defaults to the Administration Server instance. -->
<property name="deploy.targets" value="MyCluster"/>
<!-- Deploying Applications -->
<target name="deploy">
<wldeploy action="deploy"
name="${deploy.name}"
user="${username}"
password="${password}"
remote="true"
adminurl="t3://${host}:${port}"
source="${deploy.source}"
targets="${deploy.targets}"/>
</target>
<!-- Redeploying Applications -->
<target name="redeploy">
<wldeploy action="redeploy"
name="${deploy.name}"
user="${username}"
password="${password}"
remote="true"
adminurl="t3://${host}:${port}"
targets="${deploy.targets}"/>
</target>
<!-- Undeploying Applications -->
<target name="undeploy">
<wldeploy action="undeploy"
name="${deploy.name}"
failonerror="false"
user="${username}"
password="${password}"
remote="true"
adminurl="t3://${host}:${port}"
targets="${deploy.targets}"/>
</target>
Please note that if we want to deploy the JAR or EAR to remote WebLogic server, we must explicitly set the remote attribute in wldeploy tag to true, since the default value is false.
More complete reference regarding the task can be found on https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/e13706/wldeploy.htm

The above task would work if you are just specifying the remote server file path. Essentially you would need two parameters one is remote and other being upload.
The same would work but i see an parameter is missing for the task if you are deploying from a remote server
<target name="deploy1">
<wldeploy action="deploy"
upload="true"
remote="true"
name="${deploy.name.1}"
source="${deploy.source.1}"
user="${wls.username}"
password="${wls.password}"
verbose="true"
adminurl="t3://${wls.hostname}:${wls.port}" targets="${deploy.target}" />
</target>
