Hi,
Trying to access the following Windows NT ftp server through
tramp/ange-FTP fails:
/anonymous@win-builder.r-project.org:/
http://win-builder.r-project.org has a brief explanation for connecting,
which says we should connect with passive ftp in binary mode (I don't
understand what this means). The following appears in *Messages*:
Listing /anonymous@win-builder.r-project.org:/...done
Doing CD... [44 times]
nonexistent.
and I can't get any further with debug-on-error set to t. I can interact
with that directory from a browser (konqueror) at
ftp://win-builder.r-project.org without problems. I'm told that the
problem seems to be that ange-FTP doesn't understand Windows NT directory
listing format.
