Files by FTP

[Defacta]

Hello,

Is it possible to edit some PHP files which are on a server using
Emacs ? Is it too slow to edit them this way ?

Thanks,
Vincent.

It is easy. Even more easy is it perhaps with nXhtml:

You can either run emacs from a commandline SSH session to the server,
or use Tramp or other file transfer extensions if you want to run
emacs locally, transferring the files back and forth as you work.

You may want to use 'emacs -nw' or emacs-nox if it complains about X
not being available when you run it from the command line.

i work with remote servers all the time.

If you have ssh access, just log in and invoke emacs. If you don't
have ssh, but ftp or sftp, then just used emacs's dired to login and
work as if it is local.
