Yes, I checked: it does.  This is great.  Thank you for your help.

Also yes, the only needed extra arg with respect to emacs'
default configuration of ange-ftp-ftp-program-args is "-e", as
you posted prior.

And for the record: ange-ftp is able to use login credentials in
~/.authinfo.gpg when told so via ange-ftp-netrc-filename.


I now have to find out, what in my configuration hinders
emacs/ange-ftp to list ftp directory contents.  I assume it's my
dired-listing-switches setting, I'll investigate after having a
sleep.

Thank you very much, Gregor
