Subject: fix for ange-ftp with VAX
Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2006 02:49:51 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7.0.1.0.0.20060812021833.0227cea0@qwest.net> (raw)
I have a fix for lisp/net/ange-ftp.el with a VAX. The VAX has OpenVMS
V6.2, and Multinet V4.1(16). This ftp server does not handle the
'-al' part of the ls command. ange-ftp gives the ls -al command on
the directory before determining that the host is vms. The result is
that the first attempt to open a file fails. The problem repeats when
the server times out the connection and ange-ftp connects again.
I am using Emacs 21.3 on Windows, and ange-ftp.el seems to be the
same in 21.4. The change I made was to line 3094 in defun
ange-ftp-file-name-as-directory:
original:
(ange-ftp-host-type (car parsed))
update:
(ange-ftp-host-type (car parsed) (nth 1 parsed))
This change passes the user name into ange-ftp-host-type so that it
can ftp to the host to determine what the host type is, figures out
it is vms, and uses DIR instead of ls -al. Without this change it
just guesses that the host type is unix.
