Now a new window opens and I get a simply command line prompt: ,---- | ... | 230- | 230- Please note that this server is located in Germany, Europe. | 230- Most packages available are copied from other, mostly US, servers. | 230- | 230 Login successful. | Remote system type is UNIX. | Using binary mode to transfer files. | ftp> `---- Same thing if I do an `cd /anonymous@ftp.uni-erlangen.de:/' in an eshell. I hope there will be another solution than tramp. Some time ago I spent to much time to get it work with ido and icicles. Now, facing the same problems again, I won't do it anymore. henry
