Open remote files (via FTP) fails on Windows XP port

Open remote files (via FTP) fails on Windows XP port

[Dani Moncayo]

Hello,

I'm testing the opening of remote files with GNU Emacs.

That works fine in my Ubuntu 10.04 version (GNU Emacs 23.2.1
(x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1)), but fails in my
Windows XP one (GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)).

To reproduce:
1.- Start Emacs (anyhow).
2.- Type `C-x C-f'.
3.- In the minibuffer, write the PATH of a remote file, accessible via
FTP. For example: `/ftp:ftp@ftp.mozilla.org:/pub/mozilla.org/README'.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it a bug? (This same procedure works
in the Ubuntu port!!)

Thanks in advance.

It works for me.

Does it work for you from the command line outside Emacs?

What ftp client does Emacs invoke?
