It sounds like you want to make Emacs do what WebDrive FTP does. I used it some years ago; before ange-ftp supported NSK. The problem with Emacs doing it is that dired can't manage the temporary files it transfers back and forth unless the functions it hooks are being called. Word obviously won't be calling save-buffer so how would your changes get written back... _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
