[solved] Re: unable to use ange-mode to edit file on ftp server

["Frédéric Baldit" <frederic.baldit@free.fr>]

Hi,
thank's for the answer! Entering C-x C-f /ssh:user@hostname:file-path
solved it.
I'm quite impressed by this new capability (for me), as I no long need
to use filezilla to upload my .php web files from local side to
distant web hosting side.
