XEmacs comes with a thing called "gnuclient" (I think there's also a port of it for Emacs) that you can configure to allow connections from a list of other hosts, although it doesn't send the file over - you'd need to be able to access it from the machine that's running emacs, via NFS or whatever - I guess an ange-ftp/efs-style pathname might also work, it's been years since I tried... -- Andrew J Cosgriff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or something
