I assume you are using GNU Emacs. XEmacs has a different filename syntax, and both could be configured to use the "other" syntax, but we don't want to complicate it already at the beginning ... If you want to prove it, you might check via "C-h v tramp-syntax". The result should be "ftp". This case, /[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/filename would be OK. Taking ange-ftp instead of could mean that Tramp isn't loaded. You can check it with "M-: (featurep 'tramp)", which should return "t". Anyway, it might be a good idea to put "(require 'tramp)" in your .emacs, given the load-path includes the Tramp lisp directory. If that is fine, there might be a problem with the chosen method. Per default, it should be "ssh". You can prove it with "C-h v tramp-default-method". But there are some exceptions, you'll see them with "C-h v tramp-default-method-alist". Read the explanation what they are good for. If all these settings are too nasty for you, you might give the method explicitely. /ssh:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/filename should guide you to your target. > tnx, > ken Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
