Hi,

I'm using emacs (26.1 on debian 10) and I would like to use ange-mode
to connect to the ftp server on which my web site is hosted. I
installed ftp debian pakage. I can connect to my ftp server with ftp in
a terminal. But I cannot open some existing remote file with emacs,
though I have used the syntax indicated: C-x
C-f /user@hostname:file-path-on-root-directory

Could anyone here give me some valuable help?
Thank's in advance,

I think nowadays you need to use the more explicit

   /ftp:user@hostname:...

Yes, that works well.

I for one have never been able set my password in ~/.netrc.gpg. Whatever
line I've entered, tramp always ask me for my ftp server password. I
have also tried entering it in my authinfo file with

(setq ange-ftp-netrc-filename "~/path/to/authinfo")

but that doesn't work either.

Does anyone know the correct "machine <name> login port password, etc."
format?

To answer my own question, use

(customize-set-variable 'ange-ftp-netrc-filename "~/path/to/authinfo.gpg")

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.

You may also use or try /scp:user@hostname:file-path
which acts faster for larger files.
