For some reason, this web site won't let me access any files in the www directory using emacs! It seems to work fine when I use Internet Explorer to drag and drop files from my local directory to the remote web site, however. And the old fashioned command prompt seems to work too. When I position the cursor on the (DIRED display) www line and hit return, I expect it to give me a directory listing of the contents of that directory. It does not! Instead it says "no file on this line". If I use find file, that does not work either, it gets stuck on the www and says "no such directory". There is clearly a directory there with lots of stuff in it, though. Here is the display from DIRED: /xyz@www.decisionchannel.com:/: 01-28-03 03:07PM cases 01-16-03 07:37PM database 02-09-02 03:19PM logs 11-05-02 11:51AM MSFTPSVC15 10-11-02 03:18PM www
