Hi,
I am attempting to ange-ftp my webhost which is bluehost.
However instead of opening up the ftp directory I get the error
500 This security scheme is not implemented
And in a window in emacs I get this text:
ftp> open pillemer.org
Connected to pillemer.org.

Do any of you emacs gurus have any idea what this log means, and why
ftp doesn't work from my emacs installation anymore? FWIW, I am able to
log in via Explorer when I go to ftp://ftp.boop.net
(I've changed the website & usernames to protect the innocent).
(C:\emacs\emacs-21.3\bin\emacs.exe)

I have never been able to make the ftp.exe that comes with MS Windows
(you are using that aren't you?) to work with Emacs. See

I can get this ftp.exe from the emacswiki to work in a dos window but not
through Emacs. I read:
331 User myusername okay, need password.
But this is not really correct since my user name itself needs an @ sign
in it and this interferes with the parsing of the entire argument to C-x
C-f , including a second @ sign after the user name.
Is there some way around this problem?
Thanks,
Ed

Maybe Ed can find the answer there, but I can't. Could you please be
more specific Pete?

The first option is a modern alternative to ange-ftp. I think Emacsen
21.x don't have it, it must fetched from Internet, http://www.gnu.org/
software/tramp/. And there is also a mailing list for TRAMP, http://
lists.gnu.org/archive/html/tramp-devel/ is its archive.
RTFM should be a well-known acronym recommending to read some text.
When I was using ange-ftp its info node was very helpful to escape
off unusual circumstances. Although I think I had to ask ange (Andy
Norman) once or twice for a clue ...

Thanks Pete, but I tried reading the Tramp info node for CVS Emacs but
could not find anything about usernames that included @. But I am not
the perfect reader ;-) -- some more specific hints would be appreciated.

Reasonable! Both, ange-ftp and TRAMP, offer to ask for a user name
and a password. TRAMP uses, if no other input is given, the name
"anonymous" and the recent Emacs user's eMail address as password. I
don't remember any more how ange-ftp worked (could be it was reading
my ~/.netrc), but this is an option: try it blank! If the compound of
user name and host name is given with two "@": how can the parser
decide where the divide is? Right from @ is the host, left from @ is
the user. Clear standard. And that mix-up probably is the cause for
failure ...

Tramp does not "offer to ask for a user name". You can specify it as
part of the remote file name.
Tramp does nothing in case of ftp. It passes all arguments to ange-ftp.
Best regards, Michael.

Thanks, all. By running custom on a couple of ange-ftp settings I was able
to access the webspace through Emacs:
'(ange-ftp-default-password "password")
'(ange-ftp-default-user "username@isp.com")
I don't like the password in plaintext even in .emacs but I suppose that
line could be taken out and I would be prompted for the password
interactively.
Of course rtfm is always excellent advice as long as we don't require that
the user first know as much about Emacs as RMS does before she dares to
ask a question.
I assume that Tramp has something to do with remote file transfer. I've
head the term before but I didn't ask about that. I just wanted to use ftp
through Emacs instead of having to go through WS_FTP and now I can (on
msw98 - Emacs 21.3, no less). Apparently the ftp.exe distributed with
mswin was at fault.
