I am using ange-ftp under GNU-emacs to edit my Zwiki Web in emacs-wiki-mode and am encountering a strange problem. If I edit a page, I can save the changes *one time only*. After that, I get an error 426 from the ftp server: That's the effect of the so called "safety belt".
Its purpose is to prevent concurrent modifications to the same document which would necessarily destroy one of the modifications. The safety belt can not prevent such desaster but can provide for a clean error message (that's what you get). When a ZWiki page is exported (for modification), its last modification time is put in its content. When it comes back, this content timestamp is compared against the last modification time. If there is a mismatch, the error occurs. I think, if you do not like this feature, you can discard the timestamp from your content. Changing source can, of cause, get completely rid of this safety feature.... Dieter
