I suspect that the problem is that you created files with names like "/user@domain.com@domain.com:/file.html" which means that emacs thinks that "/user@domain.com@domain.com:/" is a subdirectory. If so, get around that by putting a backslash ('\') in front of each slash character ('/') when opening the file. If this doesn't fix it for you, do an "ls -al" on the files in question and send the output to us. hth, ken andrew dunn at 00:08 (UTC-0000) on 6 Feb 2003 said: = Hi, = = Ive been using XEmacs now with my own server for quite some time, = opening and saving documents remotely using the format: = /user@domain.com:/file.html = = Recently Ive had to start editing files on a server that includes the @ = symbol in the username (e.g. 'user@domain.com'), which seems to make it = impossible to open files correctly. = = The format for opening now becomes: = /user@domain.com@domain.com:/file.html = = As you'd expect this doesn't work because it doesn't know which @ symbol = is part of the username, and which one separates the user from the = domain.
