There exists an Emacs mode for the type of files on the server, and you want to access the server, list all files, select a file for editing, save edits, or even add a new file - all from within Emacs, without ever touching the webinterface. How would you do that? Via FTP? With Tramp? Would it be possible to run dired on the foreign server? I would need some hints where to start my own investigations. TIA -- cheers, Thorsten
