Re: I miss ange-ftp ($#@!Tramp)

    More recent versions of Tramp use a different set of methods.
    ... 
    Or maybe you want "sshx" which executes "ssh ... -e none -t -t /bin/sh"
    instead of "ssh ... -e none".

I tried sshx and I was able to visit and also (I think) save that
remote file using ange-ftp, but the visited file was in a buried
buffer, in fundamental mode, and ...

  * the *Backtrace* buffer says:

        Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Login failed")

    [and more which I list below]

  * the  *ftp user@foo.net*  buffer says:

        ftp> open foo.net
        Connected to foo.net.

    [and more which I list below]

  * the  *tramp/nil user@foo.net* says in toto:

        31223: ssh: connect to address 209.213.0.60 port 22: Connection refused

        Process *tramp/nil user@foo.net* exited abnormally with code 1

Also, I just tried
    (setq tramp-default-method "ssh")
in a new instance of Emacs and it looks like tramp generated the same
problems.  (I won't include those new error messages here, since I
they look similar on a quick glance to the one's here.)


Using today's CVS snapshot, Tue, 2002 Nov 26  11:49 UTC
GNU Emacs 21.3.50.48 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
started with

     /usr/local/bin/emacs -q --no-site-file --eval '(blink-cursor-mode 0)'

First, I evaluated all the following:

    (progn
      (require 'tramp)
      (setq tramp-verbose 10)
      (setq tramp-debug-buffer t)
      (setq tramp-default-method "sshx")
      ;; when running `emacs -q -l ... ' need to set this
      (custom-set-variables '(shell-prompt-pattern "^[^#$%
    ]*[#$%>] *")))

    ;;; load the *.el files instead of the *.elc files to avoid bytecode
    (progn
      (load-file "/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3.50/lisp/comint.el")

      (load-file "/usr/local/src/emacs/lisp/net/tramp.el"))

     ;; [need passive mode for ftp with firewall]
    (setq ange-ftp-try-passive-mode t)

    ;; [set ange-ftp-default-user for ange-ftp]
    (custom-set-variables '(ange-ftp-default-user "ftp@gnu.org"))


    ;;; from emacs/lisp/net/ange-ftp.el

    ;;; This regexp takes care of real ange-ftp file names (with a slash
    ;;; and colon).
    ;;; Don't allow the host name to end in a period--some systems use /.:
    ;;;###autoload
    (or (assoc "^/[^/:]*[^/:.]:" file-name-handler-alist)
        (setq file-name-handler-alist
              (cons '("^/[^/:]*[^/:.]:" . ange-ftp-hook-function)
                    file-name-handler-alist)))

    ;;; This regexp recognizes absolute filenames with only one component,
    ;;; for the sake of hostname completion.
    ;;;###autoload
    (or (assoc "^/[^/:]*\\'" file-name-handler-alist)
        (setq file-name-handler-alist
              (cons '("^/[^/:]*\\'" . ange-ftp-completion-hook-function)
                    file-name-handler-alist)))

    ;;; This regexp recognizes absolute filenames with only one component
    ;;; on Windows, for the sake of hostname completion.
    ;;; NB. Do not mark this as autoload, because it is very common to
    ;;; do completions in the root directory of drives on Windows.
    (and (memq system-type '(ms-dos windows-nt))
         (or (assoc "^[a-zA-Z]:/[^/:]*\\'" file-name-handler-alist)
             (setq file-name-handler-alist
                   (cons '("^[a-zA-Z]:/[^/:]*\\'" .
                           ange-ftp-completion-hook-function)
                         file-name-handler-alist))))


Then I visited a file with a command like this (I changed the name of
the user and the destination):

    (find-file "/user@foo.net:~user/public_html/links.html" nil)
