Re: ange-ftp with lftp

[_RDS_]

Actually, I have never heard of ange-ftp + lftp. It's an experiment. (Maybe a waste of time.)

>lftp seems to write to its output something that ange-ftp is not expecting.

That is likely the problem. Also emacs completely locks up unless I call lftp with -d, the debug option.

I am attempting to emulate anonymous FTP in Midnight Commander (which works seamlessly) on my emacs. Any ideas on how to proceed?

Thanks.

Do you know from somewhere that ange-ftp actually works with lftp as
the backend program? As far as I understand, it start it as a
subprocess, sends commands through its standard input, and expects
responses on standard output. lftp seems to write to its output
something that ange-ftp is not expecting.
