There exists an Ema= cs mode for the type of files on the server, and you want to access the ser= ver, list all files, select a file for editing, save edits, or even add a n= ew file - all from within Emacs, without ever touching the webinterface.=20 How would you do that? Via FTP? With Tramp? Would it be possible to run dired on the foreign serve= r?=20 I would need some hints where to start my own investigations.=20 TIA -- cheers, Thorsten
