The following appears in *Messages*: Listing /anonymous@win-builder.r-project.org:/...done Doing CD... [44 times] nonexistent. and I can't get any further with debug-on-error set to t. I can interact with that directory from a browser (konqueror) at ftp://win-builder.r-project.org without problems. I'm told that the problem seems to be that ange-FTP doesn't understand Windows NT directory listing format.
