Subject: problems using ange-ftp from windows

Message-ID: <1136691777.645551.183300@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com> (raw)

I'm trying to get ange-ftp to work from emacs on my windows XP laptop.
I downloaded version 21.3.1 of emacs.
I installed this ftp:
   ftp://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/emacs/windows/contrib/ftp-for-win32.zip
I put the following lines in my _emacs file:

(setq ange-ftp-ftp-program-name "c:/bin/ftp-for-win32/Release/ftp.exe")
(setq ange-ftp-tmp-name-template "c:/TEMP/ange-ftp")
(setq ange-ftp-gateway-tmp-name-template "c:/TEMP/ange-ftp")

I am able to read in an existing file from a remote host:
  ^x-^f  /username@host:path/filename
but when I try to save that file to a different file with ^x-^w
or when I try to create a new file in that directory by doing
  ^x-^f junk
I get the following error:
  FTP Error: DIR failed: #######WARNING! 4310782 bare linefeeds
received in ASCII mode

Please help! I want to switch to a new webhosting company, and they
sound great in many ways, but they don't have emacs available, and they
don't want me to install it on their server, so I thought if I could
just get emacs working on my laptop with ange-ftp, then I would be all
set.

Thanks in advance for any help!
