That works for ange-ftp in older emacsen. For the newer EFS mechanism here's my snippet of advice: XEmacs has an FTP client called EFS that makes FTP sites look like a local file system. The easiest way to use it is to put an entry like the following in the .netrc file in your local directory: machine my.server.com#9021 login myname password mypassword To save typing in a long site name, you can get EFS to recognize an abbreviation in the same way as the normal file functions. However, EFS is only normally loaded when needed so it won't spot abbreviations the first time an FTP site is accessed. To avoid this, load EFS on startup by adding this line to your .emacs file: (require 'efs) cheers alex

All,
I've used vi since 1985, and I'm just now trying out emacs. I found out how to edit a file over ftp, but the syntax doesn't seem to allow a port specification. How do I do this?
Hi Jim -
cntl-x cntl-f to get you in the file input mode. Then /<username>@<host> cntl-q <space> <portnumber>: <enter> basically the trick is control-q to allow you to insert a space and then the port number before the colon
