* How to use sftp instead of ftp in ange-ftp

For a long time I've been using ange-ftp.  But more and more servers are 
using the more secure ssh package; this means clients have to use sftp 
rather than ftp for transferring files.  This means ange-ftp no longer 
works.

I tried (some time ago) going into Customize and simply changing the
variables

(custom-set-variables
 '(ftp-prompt-regexp "^sftp>")
 '(ftp-program "sftp"))

but the sftp command set is quite different, so I really shouldn't have 
expected the session to function correctly... and it didn't.

I'm sure that someone else has already done the conversion of ange-ftp 
to use sftp.  How/Where can I get it?

I'm using 20.7.1.


tia,
ken

I don't know about sftp, but have you tried tramp? This allows
ange-ftp like transfer of files over a whole host of different
protocols, including "su" (so you can edit files as root, without
running a root emacs), and also "ssh". It probably works with sftp as
well, but I can't say for sure. 

Cheers

Phil

Install Kai's tramp.  It does file-transfers using several secure
methods..

tramp will also be the default transfer method in the next release of
emacs, i think..
