[SalesForce] ANT – Can’t deploy Custom fields on Standard object

Is it possible to deploy Custom field on standard object via. ANT. I have checked it multiple time with following conclusion:
1. We can deploy Custom Field on Standard object via. Eclipse but not by ANT – Checked
2. We can deploy Custom Field on Custom Object via. ANT & Eclipse both – Checked

Can anyone confirm this?

Rechecked after comment by Sebastian and Himanshu. Still getting the same error:

My Package.xml file is:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
<types>
<members>Account.CATCTI__CAT_Age__c</members>
<name>CustomField</name>
</types>
<version>36.0</version>
</Package>

Target is:

`<!-- Deploy the unpackaged set of metadata retrieved with retrieveUnpackaged and run tests in this organization's namespace only-->
<target name="deployUnpackaged">
  <sf:deploy username="${sf.username}" password="${sf.password}" sessionId="${sf.sessionId}" serverurl="${sf.serverurl}" maxPoll="${sf.maxPoll}" deployRoot="retrieveUnpackaged" rollbackOnError="true"/>
</target>`

Error received is:
1. objects/Account.object (Account.CAT_Age__c) — Error: Not in package.xml

Make sure this is your package.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>Account.FieldName__c</members>
        <name>CustomField</name>
    </types>
    <version>36.0</version>
</Package>
