yep. it's on port 8021 by default (well, at least in the debian zope
package it is).

you live and learn ;)

the emacs package is called ange-ftp, don't remember what the xemacs
thingy is.

see <URL:http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/HowTos/zopeandemacs> for
detailed instructions for both flavours of emacsen. the non-standard
port requires some non-standard trickery.

i usually use rcp.el because it supports ssh/scp, but that doesn't
work with zope of course. it's at
<URL:ftp://ls6-ftp.cs.uni-dortmund.de/pub/src/emacs/rcp.tar.gz>.
combined with ssh-agent it makes life so much easier.
