Subject: Ange-ftp: Getting files with no extension on dumb hosts
Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2008 14:41:48 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1b4c130b-5c36-4f4e-972c-cb1c49fa2fb2@s50g2000hsb.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Hello all,
I have already asked this question on the ange mailing list and did
not get a response. I am hoping that since it is an Emacs package,
some of you may have already solved this problem (even though it isn't
an Emacs problem).
I'm having trouble using ange-ftp to get files with no extensions from
a "dumb host". The host doesn't support any flags on ls commands
(although simply 'ls <filename_filter>' works), so I added it to
ange's dumb host list.
However, I can't open files without an extension. This seems to be
because ange treats these as directories and tries to list their
contents with a DIR command. I looked briefly through the lisp, but
nothing jumped out at me as an easy way to force ange to treat a
certain path as a file rather than a directory.
Any suggestions for doing this? (Should I be treating my host as
something other than a dumb host?)
