I confirmed it is a problem not just for the ftp site he was accessing but also gnu.org. e.g. emacs -Q /ftp@ftp.gnu.org:/gnu This brings up a dired buffer with the /gnu directory. If I now hit 's' to order by date, I then see an empty 'gnu' buffer, and the ftp buffer *ftp ftp.gnu.org* is raised, showing: ftp> cd /gnu/ 250 Directory successfully changed. ls -al -t /var/folders/ix/ixcktwmzGyyc6z4C5D4ypU+++TI/-Tmp-/ange-ftp39289ME2 ftp> usage: ls [remote-path [local-file]] ftp> ls -al -t /var/folders/ix/ixcktwmzGyyc6z4C5D4ypU+++TI/-Tmp-/ange-ftp39289ME2 usage: ls [remote-path [local-file]] ftp> Were the flags changed recently to do 'ls -al -t' rather than 'ls -alt'? If I stay in the *ftp* buffer, 'ls -alt' works fine, but 'ls -al -t' creates a file called '-t' in my local directory. Stephen
