[Zope] Problem using EMACS FTP to Zope

[David C. Morrill]

Just a follow-up to my problems:

1) Seems like 'ange-ftp-make-backup-files' is defaulted to 'nil' in the
Win32 version of EMACS. So you're ready to rock right out of the box.

2) The mysterious behavior disappeared overnight. Tried it again this
morning and it worked OK (sound of head being scratched).
