Tramp: Accessing files on VMS using ftp

Tramp: Accessing files on VMS using ftp

[dhruva]

Hi,
 I am trying to edit files on a VMS cluster using GNU Emacs (CVS Head)
and tramp package on GNU/Linux machine.
On find-file, I type:
/krishndh@twinkl.digitalindiasw.net:~/devel/samba/source/include/CONFIG_VMS.H

I get the following error:
tramp-dissect-file-name: Not a tramp file name:
/RUSTLE$DKA300:/KRISHNDH/devel/samba/source/include/

My home folder (~) expands to: /RUSTLE$DKA300:/KRISHNDH/
on VMS side: RUSTLE$DKA300:[KRISHNDH]

I feel the '$' symbol in the path is not being handled. I cannot
change it on VMS  side as the folders are cluster mounted and follow a
"NODENAME$DISKNAME" for device names for cluster mounted disks.

with best regards,
dhruva

If you want to use ftp, you shall write this:

/ftp:krishndh@twinkl.digitalindiasw.net:~/devel/samba/source/include/CONFIG_VMS.H

I have set ftp as the default access in tramp in my .emacs as:
(setq tramp-default-method "ftp")

It defaults to "ftp" if I miss giving that. Anyway, even explicitly
specifying "ftp" does not help.

Before Tramp passes a filename to ange-ftp, it must check the filename
itself. Looks like it has problems with "$" or ":" in the local
filename part (I guess the latter).

Could you, please, eval (setq debug-on-error t) and send the backtrace
afterwards?

Best regars, Michael.
