First of all, Tramp can forward requests to Ange-FTP -- you just need to use "ftp" as the method name. Secondly, the default behavior needs to be twiddled such that Ange-FTP is used by default in cases where it makes sense. However, I'm not sure what the new default behavior should be. Therefore, I made no effort to make sure that Tramp forwards many requests to Ange-FTP. Instead, I was kind of hoping you folks would try different settings and then tell me what you like :-) One approach would be to do (setq tramp-default-method "ftp"). Then, filenames that look like Ange-FTP filenames continue to invoke Ange-FTP, even with (tramp-handle-ange-ftp). Users would type, say, C-x C-f /sm#user@host:/path/to/file RET to invoke Tramp with the `sm' method. But this does not deal with the filename completion bug. Hm. I never saw that one. I think it comes from partial completion, but I'm not sure. Let me investigate. Thanks for the bug report. kai -- A large number of young women don't trust men with beards. (BFBS Radio)
