ange-ftp with carbon-emacs en Mac OS X

[Olivier Marti]

Hi,

I can't have ange ftp working with carbon-emacs on Mac OS X. It works
well with Emacs (21.1) for X11, so I guess my .emacs is not too buggy.

With carbon-emacs, it asks me my path-phrase for ssh (whereas X11 emacs
normally use ftp, and passwords). When the path-phrase has been entered,
I've got the spinning wheel of OS X for about  several minutes, and
fails.

Any idea ?

Olivier

The development version of Emacs comes with Tramp.  Tramp allows you
to use a variety of methods to contact remote hosts, including ssh,
sudo, smb_client, and ftp.  The default method is ssh.

You can type /ftp:user@host:/path/to/file as the filename to specify
Ange-FTP explicitly.

You can also change tramp-default-method to say that you want to use
Ange-FTP by default.

And finally, you can use tramp-default-method-alist to specify
different default methods for different user/host combinations.
