FTP with XEmacs: 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.zope.machine#9221 login myname password mypassword (The number after the # is the FTP port, which will be different from the HTTP port. Up until Zope2b1 the default was 9221, now it is 8021, the standard is 21). 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)

Greetings Zopesters,

I understand that ZServer provides access to your Zope documents via ftp, but I don't know how to make that work. Could someone provide some specific instructions on how to use XEmacs, for example, through ftp to my Zope documents? Is it possible to use NEdit in that way? Thanks.

-Tim
