[Zope] How do I specify an ftp port in emacs?

[Alex.Thomas@dresdnerkb.com]

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)
