[Zope] editing via ftp

[Alex.Thomas@dresdnerkb.com]

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)
