Date conflicts with ange-ftp

[Olivier Marti]

Hi,

when I edit a remote file with Emacs 21.2, I've got I soon as I type any
characacter :

File change on disk; Really want to edit the buffer ?(y,n , r or C-h)

I've check time on my machine and the remote one, and its ok. Moreover,
I've got no problem with emacs20, and this came for any file and any
remote machine with emacs21.

I've got the same problem on Mac OS X and on Intel Linux (Red Hat).

I this a bug, or is there some ad hoc tuning to have this working
properly ?

Olivier

I think the time-checking code is new in Emacs 21's ange-ftp.el.

Hm.  What does (verify-visited-file-modtime (current-buffer)) say in
such a buffer?  What does it say in a buffer where you don't get the
above question?

If the result of verify-visited-file-modtime is wrong, then you need
to investigate the code of the function
ange-ftp-verify-visited-file-modtime.  I can help you with that, if
you like.
