;;; Commentary:
-;;;
-;;; This package attempts to make accessing files and directories using FTP
-;;; from within GNU Emacs as simple and transparent as possible. A subset of
-;;; the common file-handling routines are extended to interact with FTP.
-
-;;; Usage:
-;;;
-;;; Some of the common GNU Emacs file-handling operations have been made
-;;; FTP-smart. If one of these routines is given a filename that matches
-;;; '/user@host:name' then it will spawn an FTP process connecting to machine
-;;; 'host' as account 'user' and perform its operation on the file 'name'.
-;;;
-;;; For example: if find-file is given a filename of:
-;;;
-;;; /ange@anorman:/tmp/notes
-;;;
-;;; then ange-ftp spawns an FTP process, connect to the host 'anorman' as
-;;; user 'ange', get the file '/tmp/notes' and pop up a buffer containing the
-;;; contents of that file as if it were on the local filesystem. If ange-ftp
-;;; needs a password to connect then it reads one in the echo area.
-
-;;; Extended filename syntax:
-;;;
-;;; The default extended filename syntax is '/user@host:name', where the
-;;; 'user@' part may be omitted. This syntax can be customised to a certain
-;;; extent by changing ange-ftp-name-format. There are limitations.
-;;;
-;;; If the user part is omitted then ange-ftp generates a default user
-;;; instead whose value depends on the variable ange-ftp-default-user.
-
-;;; Passwords:
-;;;
-;;; A password is required for each host/user pair. Ange-ftp reads passwords
-;;; as needed. You can also specify a password with ange-ftp-set-passwd, or
-;;; in a *valid* ~/.netrc file.
-
-;;; Passwords for user "anonymous":
-;;;
-;;; Passwords for the user "anonymous" (or "ftp") are handled
-;;; specially. The variable `ange-ftp-generate-anonymous-password'
-;;; controls what happens: if the value of this variable is a string,
-;;; then this is used as the password; if non-nil (the default), then
-;;; a password is created from the name of the user and the hostname
-;;; of the machine on which GNU Emacs is running; if nil then the user
-;;; is prompted for a password as normal.
-
-;;; "Dumb" UNIX hosts:
-;;;
-;;; The FTP servers on some UNIX machines have problems if the 'ls' command is
-;;; used.
-;;;
-;;; The routine ange-ftp-add-dumb-unix-host can be called to tell ange-ftp to
-;;; limit itself to the DIR command and not 'ls' for a given UNIX host. Note
-;;; that this change will take effect for the current GNU Emacs session only.
-;;; See below for a discussion of non-UNIX hosts. If a large number of
-;;; machines with similar hostnames have this problem then it is easier to set
-;;; the value of ange-ftp-dumb-unix-host-regexp in your .emacs file. ange-ftp
-;;; is unable to automatically recognize dumb unix hosts.
-
-;;; File name completion:
-;;;
-;;; Full file-name completion is supported on UNIX, VMS, CMS, and MTS hosts.
-;;; To do filename completion, ange-ftp needs a listing from the remote host.
-;;; Therefore, for very slow connections, it might not save any time.
-
-;;; FTP processes:
-;;;
-;;; When ange-ftp starts up an FTP process, it leaves it running for speed
-;;; purposes. Some FTP servers will close the connection after a period of
-;;; time, but ange-ftp should be able to quietly reconnect the next time that
-;;; the process is needed.
-;;;
-;;; Killing the "*ftp user@host*" buffer also kills the ftp process.
-;;; This should not cause ange-ftp any grief.
-
-;;; Binary file transfers:
-;;;
-;;; By default ange-ftp transfers files in ASCII mode. If a file being
-;;; transferred matches the value of ange-ftp-binary-file-name-regexp then
-;;; binary mode is used for that transfer.
-
-;;; Account passwords:
-;;;
-;;; Some FTP servers require an additional password which is sent by the
-;;; ACCOUNT command. ange-ftp partially supports this by allowing the user to
-;;; specify an account password by either calling ange-ftp-set-account, or by
-;;; specifying an account token in the .netrc file. If the account password
-;;; is set by either of these methods then ange-ftp will issue an ACCOUNT
-;;; command upon starting the FTP process.
-
-;;; Preloading:
-;;;
-;;; ange-ftp can be preloaded, but must be put in the site-init.el file and
-;;; not the site-load.el file in order for the documentation strings for the
-;;; functions being overloaded to be available.
-
-;;; Status reports:
-;;;
-;;; Most ange-ftp commands that talk to the FTP process output a status
-;;; message on what they are doing. In addition, ange-ftp can take advantage
-;;; of the FTP client's HASH command to display the status of transferring
-;;; files and listing directories. See the documentation for the variables
-;;; ange-ftp-{ascii,binary}-hash-mark-size, ange-ftp-send-hash and
-;;; ange-ftp-process-verbose for more details.
-
-;;; Gateways:
-;;;
-;;; Sometimes it is necessary for the FTP process to be run on a different
-;;; machine than the machine running GNU Emacs. This can happen when the
-;;; local machine has restrictions on what hosts it can access.
-;;;
-;;; ange-ftp has support for running the ftp process on a different (gateway)
-;;; machine. The way it works is as follows:
-;;;
-;;; 1) Set the variable 'ange-ftp-gateway-host' to the name of a machine
-;;; that doesn't have the access restrictions.
-;;;
-;;; 2) Set the variable 'ange-ftp-local-host-regexp' to a regular expression
-;;; that matches hosts that can be contacted from running a local ftp
-;;; process, but fails to match hosts that can't be accessed locally. For
-;;; example:
-;;;
-;;; "\\.hp\\.com$\\|^[^.]*$"
-;;;
-;;; will match all hosts that are in the .hp.com domain, or don't have an
-;;; explicit domain in their name, but will fail to match hosts with
-;;; explicit domains or that are specified by their ip address.
-;;;
-;;; 3) Using NFS and symlinks, make sure that there is a shared directory with
-;;; the *same* name between the local machine and the gateway machine.
-;;; This directory is necessary for temporary files created by ange-ftp.
-;;;
-;;; 4) Set the variable 'ange-ftp-gateway-tmp-name-template' to the name of
-;;; this directory plus an identifying filename prefix. For example:
-;;;
-;;; "/nfs/hplose/ange/ange-ftp"
-;;;
-;;; where /nfs/hplose/ange is a directory that is shared between the
-;;; gateway machine and the local machine.
-;;;
-;;; The simplest way of getting a ftp process running on the gateway machine
-;;; is if you can spawn a remote shell using either 'rsh' or 'remsh'. If you
-;;; can't do this for some reason such as security then points 7 onwards will
-;;; discuss an alternative approach.
-;;;
-;;; 5) Set the variable ange-ftp-gateway-program to the name of the remote
-;;; shell process such as 'remsh' or 'rsh' if the default isn't correct.
-;;;
-;;; 6) Set the variable ange-ftp-gateway-program-interactive to nil if it
-;;; isn't already. This tells ange-ftp that you are using a remote shell
-;;; rather than logging in using telnet or rlogin.
-;;;
-;;; That should be all you need to allow ange-ftp to spawn a ftp process on
-;;; the gateway machine. If you have to use telnet or rlogin to get to the
-;;; gateway machine then follow the instructions below.
-;;;
-;;; 7) Set the variable ange-ftp-gateway-program to the name of the program
-;;; that lets you log onto the gateway machine. This may be something like
-;;; telnet or rlogin.
-;;;
-;;; 8) Set the variable ange-ftp-gateway-prompt-pattern to a regular
-;;; expression that matches the prompt you get when you login to the
-;;; gateway machine. Be very specific here; this regexp must not match
-;;; *anything* in your login banner except this prompt.
-;;; shell-prompt-pattern is far too general as it appears to match some
-;;; login banners from Sun machines. For example:
-;;;
-;;; "^$*$ *"
-;;;
-;;; 9) Set the variable ange-ftp-gateway-program-interactive to 't' to let
-;;; ange-ftp know that it has to "hand-hold" the login to the gateway
-;;; machine.
-;;;
-;;; 10) Set the variable ange-ftp-gateway-setup-term-command to a UNIX command
-;;; that will put the pty connected to the gateway machine into a
-;;; no-echoing mode, and will strip off carriage-returns from output from
-;;; the gateway machine. For example:
-;;;
-;;; "stty -onlcr -echo"
-;;;
-;;; will work on HP-UX machines, whereas:
-;;;
-;;; "stty -echo nl"
-;;;
-;;; appears to work for some Sun machines.
-;;;
-;;; That's all there is to it.
-
-;;; Smart gateways:
-;;;
-;;; If you have a "smart" ftp program that allows you to issue commands like
-;;; "USER foo@bar" which do nice proxy things, then look at the variables
-;;; ange-ftp-smart-gateway and ange-ftp-smart-gateway-port.
-
-;;; Tips for using ange-ftp:
-;;;
-;;; 1. For dired to work on a host which marks symlinks with a trailing @ in
-;;; an ls -alF listing, you need to (setq dired-ls-F-marks-symlinks t).
-;;; Most UNIX systems do not do this, but ULTRIX does. If you think that
-;;; there is a chance you might connect to an ULTRIX machine (such as
-;;; prep.ai.mit.edu), then set this variable accordingly. This will have
-;;; the side effect that dired will have problems with symlinks whose names
-;;; end in an @. If you get yourself into this situation then editing
-;;; dired's ls-switches to remove "F", will temporarily fix things.
-;;;
-;;; 2. If you know that you are connecting to a certain non-UNIX machine
-;;; frequently, and ange-ftp seems to be unable to guess its host-type,
-;;; then setting the appropriate host-type regexp
-;;; (ange-ftp-vms-host-regexp, ange-ftp-mts-host-regexp, or
-;;; ange-ftp-cms-host-regexp) accordingly should help. Also, please report
-;;; ange-ftp's inability to recognize the host-type as a bug.
-;;;
-;;; 3. For slow connections, you might get "listing unreadable" error
-;;; messages, or get an empty buffer for a file that you know has something
-;;; in it. The solution is to increase the value of ange-ftp-retry-time.
-;;; Its default value is 5 which is plenty for reasonable connections.
-;;; However, for some transatlantic connections I set this to 20.
-;;;
-;;; 4. Beware of compressing files on non-UNIX hosts. Ange-ftp will do it by
-;;; copying the file to the local machine, compressing it there, and then
-;;; sending it back. Binary file transfers between machines of different
-;;; architectures can be a risky business. Test things out first on some
-;;; test files. See "Bugs" below. Also, note that ange-ftp copies files by
-;;; moving them through the local machine. Again, be careful when doing
-;;; this with binary files on non-Unix machines.
-;;;
-;;; 5. Beware that dired over ftp will use your setting of dired-no-confirm
-;;; (list of dired commands for which confirmation is not asked). You
-;;; might want to reconsider your setting of this variable, because you
-;;; might want confirmation for more commands on remote direds than on
-;;; local direds. For example, I strongly recommend that you not include
-;;; compress and uncompress in this list. If there is enough demand it
-;;; might be a good idea to have an alist ange-ftp-dired-no-confirm of
-;;; pairs ( TYPE . LIST ), where TYPE is an operating system type and LIST
-;;; is a list of commands for which confirmation would be suppressed. Then
-;;; remote dired listings would take their (buffer-local) value of
-;;; dired-no-confirm from this alist. Who votes for this?
-
-;;; ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-;;; Non-UNIX support:
-;;; ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-;;; VMS support:
-;;;
-;;; Ange-ftp has full support for VMS hosts. It
-;;; should be able to automatically recognize any VMS machine. However, if it
-;;; fails to do this, you can use the command ange-ftp-add-vms-host. As well,
-;;; you can set the variable ange-ftp-vms-host-regexp in your .emacs file. We
-;;; would be grateful if you would report any failures to automatically
-;;; recognize a VMS host as a bug.
-;;;
-;;; Filename Syntax:
-;;;
-;;; For ease of *implementation*, the user enters the VMS filename syntax in a
-;;; UNIX-y way. For example:
-;;; PUB$:[ANONYMOUS.SDSCPUB.NEXT]README.TXT;1
-;;; would be entered as:
-;;; /PUB$$:/ANONYMOUS/SDSCPUB/NEXT/README.TXT;1
-;;; i.e. to log in as anonymous on ymir.claremont.edu and grab the file:
-;;; [.CSV.POLICY]RULES.MEM
-;;; you would type:
-;;; C-x C-f /anonymous@ymir.claremont.edu:CSV/POLICY/RULES.MEM
-;;;
-;;; A legal VMS filename is of the form: FILE.TYPE;##
-;;; where FILE can be up to 39 characters
-;;; TYPE can be up to 39 characters
-;;; ## is a version number (an integer between 1 and 32,767)
-;;; Valid characters in FILE and TYPE are A-Z 0-9 _ - $
-;;; $ cannot begin a filename, and - cannot be used as the first or last
-;;; character.
-;;;
-;;; Tips:
-;;; 1. Although VMS is not case sensitive, EMACS running under UNIX is.
-;;; Therefore, to access a VMS file, you must enter the filename with upper
-;;; case letters.
-;;; 2. To access the latest version of file under VMS, you use the filename
-;;; without the ";" and version number. You should always edit the latest
-;;; version of a file. If you want to edit an earlier version, copy it to a
-;;; new file first. This has nothing to do with ange-ftp, but is simply
-;;; good VMS operating practice. Therefore, to edit FILE.TXT;3 (say 3 is
-;;; latest version), do C-x C-f /ymir.claremont.edu:FILE.TXT. If you
-;;; inadvertently do C-x C-f /ymir.claremont.edu:FILE.TXT;3, you will find
-;;; that VMS will not allow you to save the file because it will refuse to
-;;; overwrite FILE.TXT;3, but instead will want to create FILE.TXT;4, and
-;;; attach the buffer to this file. To get out of this situation, M-x
-;;; write-file /ymir.claremont.edu:FILE.TXT will attach the buffer to
-;;; latest version of the file. For this reason, in dired "f"
-;;; (dired-find-file), always loads the file sans version, whereas "v",
-;;; (dired-view-file), always loads the explicit version number. The
-;;; reasoning being that it reasonable to view old versions of a file, but
-;;; not to edit them.
-;;; 3. EMACS has a feature in which it does environment variable substitution
-;;; in filenames. Therefore, to enter a $ in a filename, you must quote it
-;;; by typing $$.
-
-;;; MTS support:
-;;;
-;;; Ange-ftp has full support for hosts running
-;;; the Michigan terminal system. It should be able to automatically
-;;; recognize any MTS machine. However, if it fails to do this, you can use
-;;; the command ange-ftp-add-mts-host. As well, you can set the variable
-;;; ange-ftp-mts-host-regexp in your .emacs file. We would be grateful if you
-;;; would report any failures to automatically recognize a MTS host as a bug.
-;;;
-;;; Filename syntax:
-;;;
-;;; MTS filenames are entered in a UNIX-y way. For example, if your account
-;;; was YYYY, the file FILE in the account XXXX: on mtsg.ubc.ca would be
-;;; entered as
-;;; /YYYY@mtsg.ubc.ca:/XXXX:/FILE
-;;; In other words, MTS accounts are treated as UNIX directories. Of course,
-;;; to access a file in another account, you must have access permission for
-;;; it. If FILE were in your own account, then you could enter it in a
-;;; relative name fashion as
-;;; /YYYY@mtsg.ubc.ca:FILE
-;;; MTS filenames can be up to 12 characters. Like UNIX, the structure of the
-;;; filename does not contain a TYPE (i.e. it can have as many "."'s as you
-;;; like.) MTS filenames are always in upper case, and hence be sure to enter
-;;; them as such! MTS is not case sensitive, but an EMACS running under UNIX
-;;; is.
-
-;;; CMS support:
-;;;
-;;; Ange-ftp has full support for hosts running
-;;; CMS. It should be able to automatically recognize any CMS machine.
-;;; However, if it fails to do this, you can use the command
-;;; ange-ftp-add-cms-host. As well, you can set the variable
-;;; ange-ftp-cms-host-regexp in your .emacs file. We would be grateful if you
-;;; would report any failures to automatically recognize a CMS host as a bug.
-;;;
-;;; Filename syntax:
-;;;
-;;; CMS filenames are entered in a UNIX-y way. In otherwords, minidisks are
-;;; treated as UNIX directories. For example to access the file READ.ME in
-;;; minidisk *.311 on cuvmb.cc.columbia.edu, you would enter
-;;; /anonymous@cuvmb.cc.columbia.edu:/*.311/READ.ME
-;;; If *.301 is the default minidisk for this account, you could access
-;;; FOO.BAR on this minidisk as
-;;; /anonymous@cuvmb.cc.columbia.edu:FOO.BAR
-;;; CMS filenames are of the form FILE.TYPE, where both FILE and TYPE can be
-;;; up to 8 characters. Again, beware that CMS filenames are always upper
-;;; case, and hence must be entered as such.
-;;;
-;;; Tips:
-;;; 1. CMS machines, with the exception of anonymous accounts, nearly always
-;;; need an account password. To have ange-ftp send an account password,
-;;; you can either include it in your .netrc file, or use
-;;; ange-ftp-set-account.
-;;; 2. Ange-ftp cannot send "write passwords" for a minidisk. Hopefully, we
-;;; can fix this.
-;;;
-;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------
-;;; Bugs:
-;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------
-;;;
-;;; 1. Umask problems:
-;;; Be warned that files created by using ange-ftp will take account of the
-;;; umask of the ftp daemon process rather than the umask of the creating
-;;; user. This is particularly important when logging in as the root user.
-;;; The way that I tighten up the ftp daemon's umask under HP-UX is to make
-;;; sure that the umask is changed to 027 before I spawn /etc/inetd. I
-;;; suspect that there is something similar on other systems.
-;;;
-;;; 2. Some combinations of FTP clients and servers break and get out of sync
-;;; when asked to list a non-existent directory. Some of the ai.mit.edu
-;;; machines cause this problem for some FTP clients. Using
-;;; ange-ftp-kill-ftp-process can restart the ftp process, which
-;;; should get things back in synch.
-;;;
-;;; 3. Ange-ftp does not check to make sure that when creating a new file,
-;;; you provide a valid filename for the remote operating system.
-;;; If you do not, then the remote FTP server will most likely
-;;; translate your filename in some way. This may cause ange-ftp to
-;;; get confused about what exactly is the name of the file. The
-;;; most common causes of this are using lower case filenames on systems
-;;; which support only upper case, and using filenames which are too
-;;; long.
-;;;
-;;; 4. Null (blank) passwords confuse both ange-ftp and some FTP daemons.
-;;;
-;;; 5. Ange-ftp likes to use pty's to talk to its FTP processes. If GNU Emacs
-;;; for some reason creates a FTP process that only talks via pipes then
-;;; ange-ftp won't be getting the information it requires at the time that
-;;; it wants it since pipes flush at different times to pty's. One
-;;; disgusting way around this problem is to talk to the FTP process via
-;;; rlogin which does the 'right' things with pty's.
-;;;
-;;; 6. For CMS support, we send too many cd's. Since cd's are cheap, I haven't
-;;; worried about this too much. Eventually, we should have some caching
-;;; of the current minidisk.
-;;;
-;;; 7. Some CMS machines do not assign a default minidisk when you ftp them as
-;;; anonymous. It is then necessary to guess a valid minidisk name, and cd
-;;; to it. This is (understandably) beyond ange-ftp.
-;;;
-;;; 8. Remote to remote copying of files on non-Unix machines can be risky.
-;;; Depending on the variable ange-ftp-binary-file-name-regexp, ange-ftp
-;;; will use binary mode for the copy. Between systems of different
-;;; architecture, this still may not be enough to guarantee the integrity
-;;; of binary files. Binary file transfers from VMS machines are
-;;; particularly problematical. Should ange-ftp-binary-file-name-regexp be
-;;; an alist of OS type, regexp pairs?
-;;;
-;;; 9. The code to do compression of files over ftp is not as careful as it
-;;; should be. It deletes the old remote version of the file, before
-;;; actually checking if the local to remote transfer of the compressed
-;;; file succeeds. Of course to delete the original version of the file
-;;; after transferring the compressed version back is also dangerous,
-;;; because some OS's have severe restrictions on the length of filenames,
-;;; and when the compressed version is copied back the "-Z" or ".Z" may be
-;;; truncated. Then, ange-ftp would delete the only remaining version of
-;;; the file. Maybe ange-ftp should make backups when it compresses files
-;;; (of course, the backup "~" could also be truncated off, sigh...).
-;;; Suggestions?
-;;;
-
-;;; 10. If a dir listing is attempted for an empty directory on (at least
-;;; some) VMS hosts, an ftp error is given. This is really an ftp bug, and
-;;; I don't know how to get ange-ftp work to around it.
-;;;
-;;; 11. Bombs on filenames that start with a space. Deals well with filenames
-;;; containing spaces, but beware that the remote ftpd may not like them
-;;; much.
-;;;
-;;; 12. The dired support for non-Unix-like systems does not currently work.
-;;; It needs to be reimplemented by modifying the parse-...-listing
-;;; functions to convert the directory listing to ls -l format.
-;;;
-;;; 13. The famous @ bug. As mentioned above in TIPS, ULTRIX marks symlinks
-;;; with a trailing @ in a ls -alF listing. In order to account for this
-;;; ange-ftp looks to chop trailing @'s off of symlink names when it is
-;;; parsing a listing with the F switch. This will cause ange-ftp to
-;;; incorrectly get the name of a symlink on a non-ULTRIX host if its name
-;;; ends in an @. ange-ftp will correct itself if you take F out of the
-;;; dired ls switches (C-u s will allow you to edit the switches). The
-;;; dired buffer will be automatically reverted, which will allow ange-ftp
-;;; to fix its files hashtable. A cookie to anyone who can think of a
-;;; fast, sure-fire way to recognize ULTRIX over ftp.

+
+;; Usage:
+;;
+;; Some of the common GNU Emacs file-handling operations have been made
+;; FTP-smart. If one of these routines is given a filename that matches
+;; '/user@host:name' then it will spawn an FTP process connecting to machine
+;; 'host' as account 'user' and perform its operation on the file 'name'.
+;;
+;; For example: if find-file is given a filename of:
+;;
+;; /ange@anorman:/tmp/notes
+;;
+;; then ange-ftp spawns an FTP process, connect to the host 'anorman' as
+;; user 'ange', get the file '/tmp/notes' and pop up a buffer containing the
+;; contents of that file as if it were on the local filesystem. If ange-ftp
+;; needs a password to connect then it reads one in the echo area.
+
+;; Extended filename syntax:
+;;
+;; The default extended filename syntax is '/user@host:name', where the
+;; 'user@' part may be omitted. This syntax can be customised to a certain
+;; extent by changing ange-ftp-name-format. There are limitations.
+;;
+;; If the user part is omitted then ange-ftp generates a default user
+;; instead whose value depends on the variable ange-ftp-default-user.
+
+;; Passwords:
+;;
+;; A password is required for each host/user pair. Ange-ftp reads passwords
+;; as needed. You can also specify a password with ange-ftp-set-passwd, or
+;; in a *valid* ~/.netrc file.
+
+;; Passwords for user "anonymous":
+;;
+;; Passwords for the user "anonymous" (or "ftp") are handled
+;; specially. The variable `ange-ftp-generate-anonymous-password'
+;; controls what happens: if the value of this variable is a string,
+;; then this is used as the password; if non-nil (the default), then
+;; the value of `user-mail-address' is used; if nil then the user
+;; is prompted for a password as normal.
+
+;; "Dumb" UNIX hosts:
+;;
+;; The FTP servers on some UNIX machines have problems if the 'ls' command is
+;; used.
+;;
+;; The routine ange-ftp-add-dumb-unix-host can be called to tell ange-ftp to
+;; limit itself to the DIR command and not 'ls' for a given UNIX host. Note
+;; that this change will take effect for the current GNU Emacs session only.
+;; See below for a discussion of non-UNIX hosts. If a large number of
+;; machines with similar hostnames have this problem then it is easier to set
+;; the value of ange-ftp-dumb-unix-host-regexp in your .emacs file. ange-ftp
+;; is unable to automatically recognize dumb unix hosts.
+
+;; File name completion:
+;;
+;; Full file-name completion is supported on UNIX, VMS, CMS, and MTS hosts.
+;; To do filename completion, ange-ftp needs a listing from the remote host.
+;; Therefore, for very slow connections, it might not save any time.
+
+;; FTP processes:
+;;
+;; When ange-ftp starts up an FTP process, it leaves it running for speed
+;; purposes. Some FTP servers will close the connection after a period of
+;; time, but ange-ftp should be able to quietly reconnect the next time that
+;; the process is needed.
+;;
+;; Killing the "*ftp user@host*" buffer also kills the ftp process.
+;; This should not cause ange-ftp any grief.
+
+;; Binary file transfers:
+;;
+;; By default ange-ftp transfers files in ASCII mode. If a file being
+;; transferred matches the value of ange-ftp-binary-file-name-regexp then
+;; binary mode is used for that transfer.
+
+;; Account passwords:
+;;
+;; Some FTP servers require an additional password which is sent by the
+;; ACCOUNT command. ange-ftp partially supports this by allowing the user to
+;; specify an account password by either calling ange-ftp-set-account, or by
+;; specifying an account token in the .netrc file. If the account password
+;; is set by either of these methods then ange-ftp will issue an ACCOUNT
+;; command upon starting the FTP process.
+
+;; Preloading:
+;;
+;; ange-ftp can be preloaded, but must be put in the site-init.el file and
+;; not the site-load.el file in order for the documentation strings for the
+;; functions being overloaded to be available.
+
+;; Status reports:
+;;
+;; Most ange-ftp commands that talk to the FTP process output a status
+;; message on what they are doing. In addition, ange-ftp can take advantage
+;; of the FTP client's HASH command to display the status of transferring
+;; files and listing directories. See the documentation for the variables
+;; ange-ftp-{ascii,binary}-hash-mark-size, ange-ftp-send-hash and
+;; ange-ftp-process-verbose for more details.
+
+;; Gateways:
+;;
+;; Sometimes it is necessary for the FTP process to be run on a different
+;; machine than the machine running GNU Emacs. This can happen when the
+;; local machine has restrictions on what hosts it can access.
+;;
+;; ange-ftp has support for running the ftp process on a different (gateway)
+;; machine. The way it works is as follows:
+;;
+;; 1) Set the variable 'ange-ftp-gateway-host' to the name of a machine
+;; that doesn't have the access restrictions.
+;;
+;; 2) Set the variable 'ange-ftp-local-host-regexp' to a regular expression
+;; that matches hosts that can be contacted from running a local ftp
+;; process, but fails to match hosts that can't be accessed locally. For
+;; example:
+;;
+;; "\\.hp\\.com$\\|^[^.]*$"
+;;
+;; will match all hosts that are in the .hp.com domain, or don't have an
+;; explicit domain in their name, but will fail to match hosts with
+;; explicit domains or that are specified by their ip address.
+;;
+;; 3) Using NFS and symlinks, make sure that there is a shared directory with
+;; the *same* name between the local machine and the gateway machine.
+;; This directory is necessary for temporary files created by ange-ftp.
+;;
+;; 4) Set the variable 'ange-ftp-gateway-tmp-name-template' to the name of
+;; this directory plus an identifying filename prefix. For example:
+;;
+;; "/nfs/hplose/ange/ange-ftp"
+;;
+;; where /nfs/hplose/ange is a directory that is shared between the
+;; gateway machine and the local machine.
+;;
+;; The simplest way of getting a ftp process running on the gateway machine
+;; is if you can spawn a remote shell using either 'rsh' or 'remsh'. If you
+;; can't do this for some reason such as security then points 7 onwards will
+;; discuss an alternative approach.
+;;
+;; 5) Set the variable ange-ftp-gateway-program to the name of the remote
+;; shell process such as 'remsh' or 'rsh' if the default isn't correct.
+;;
+;; 6) Set the variable ange-ftp-gateway-program-interactive to nil if it
+;; isn't already. This tells ange-ftp that you are using a remote shell
+;; rather than logging in using telnet or rlogin.
+;;
+;; That should be all you need to allow ange-ftp to spawn a ftp process on
+;; the gateway machine. If you have to use telnet or rlogin to get to the
+;; gateway machine then follow the instructions below.
+;;
+;; 7) Set the variable ange-ftp-gateway-program to the name of the program
+;; that lets you log onto the gateway machine. This may be something like
+;; telnet or rlogin.
+;;
+;; 8) Set the variable ange-ftp-gateway-prompt-pattern to a regular
+;; expression that matches the prompt you get when you login to the
+;; gateway machine. Be very specific here; this regexp must not match
+;; *anything* in your login banner except this prompt.
+;; shell-prompt-pattern is far too general as it appears to match some
+;; login banners from Sun machines. For example:
+;;
+;; "^$*$ *"
+;;
+;; 9) Set the variable ange-ftp-gateway-program-interactive to 't' to let
+;; ange-ftp know that it has to "hand-hold" the login to the gateway
+;; machine.
+;;
+;; 10) Set the variable ange-ftp-gateway-setup-term-command to a UNIX command
+;; that will put the pty connected to the gateway machine into a
+;; no-echoing mode, and will strip off carriage-returns from output from
+;; the gateway machine. For example:
+;;
+;; "stty -onlcr -echo"
+;;
+;; will work on HP-UX machines, whereas:
+;;
+;; "stty -echo nl"
+;;
+;; appears to work for some Sun machines.
+;;
+;; That's all there is to it.
+
+;; Smart gateways:
+;;
+;; If you have a "smart" ftp program that allows you to issue commands like
+;; "USER foo@bar" which do nice proxy things, then look at the variables
+;; ange-ftp-smart-gateway and ange-ftp-smart-gateway-port.
+;;
+;; Otherwise, if there is an alternate ftp program that implements proxy in
+;; a transparent way (i.e. w/o specifying the proxy host), that will
+;; connect you directly to the desired destination host:
+;; Set ange-ftp-gateway-ftp-program-name to that program's name.
+;; Set ange-ftp-local-host-regexp to a value as stated earlier on.
+;; Leave ange-ftp-gateway-host set to nil.
+;; Set ange-ftp-smart-gateway to t.
+
+;; Tips for using ange-ftp:
+;;
+;; 1. For dired to work on a host which marks symlinks with a trailing @ in
+;; an ls -alF listing, you need to (setq dired-ls-F-marks-symlinks t).
+;; Most UNIX systems do not do this, but ULTRIX does. If you think that
+;; there is a chance you might connect to an ULTRIX machine (such as
+;; prep.ai.mit.edu), then set this variable accordingly. This will have
+;; the side effect that dired will have problems with symlinks whose names
+;; end in an @. If you get yourself into this situation then editing
+;; dired's ls-switches to remove "F", will temporarily fix things.
+;;
+;; 2. If you know that you are connecting to a certain non-UNIX machine
+;; frequently, and ange-ftp seems to be unable to guess its host-type,
+;; then setting the appropriate host-type regexp
+;; (ange-ftp-vms-host-regexp, ange-ftp-mts-host-regexp, or
+;; ange-ftp-cms-host-regexp) accordingly should help. Also, please report
+;; ange-ftp's inability to recognize the host-type as a bug.
+;;
+;; 3. For slow connections, you might get "listing unreadable" error
+;; messages, or get an empty buffer for a file that you know has something
+;; in it. The solution is to increase the value of ange-ftp-retry-time.
+;; Its default value is 5 which is plenty for reasonable connections.
+;; However, for some transatlantic connections I set this to 20.
+;;
+;; 4. Beware of compressing files on non-UNIX hosts. Ange-ftp will do it by
+;; copying the file to the local machine, compressing it there, and then
+;; sending it back. Binary file transfers between machines of different
+;; architectures can be a risky business. Test things out first on some
+;; test files. See "Bugs" below. Also, note that ange-ftp copies files by
+;; moving them through the local machine. Again, be careful when doing
+;; this with binary files on non-Unix machines.
+;;
+;; 5. Beware that dired over ftp will use your setting of dired-no-confirm
+;; (list of dired commands for which confirmation is not asked). You
+;; might want to reconsider your setting of this variable, because you
+;; might want confirmation for more commands on remote direds than on
+;; local direds. For example, I strongly recommend that you not include
+;; compress and uncompress in this list. If there is enough demand it
+;; might be a good idea to have an alist ange-ftp-dired-no-confirm of
+;; pairs ( TYPE . LIST ), where TYPE is an operating system type and LIST
+;; is a list of commands for which confirmation would be suppressed. Then
+;; remote dired listings would take their (buffer-local) value of
+;; dired-no-confirm from this alist. Who votes for this?
+
+;; ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+;; Non-UNIX support:
+;; ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+;; VMS support:
+;;
+;; Ange-ftp has full support for VMS hosts. It
+;; should be able to automatically recognize any VMS machine. However, if it
+;; fails to do this, you can use the command ange-ftp-add-vms-host. As well,
+;; you can set the variable ange-ftp-vms-host-regexp in your .emacs file. We
+;; would be grateful if you would report any failures to automatically
+;; recognize a VMS host as a bug.
+;;
+;; Filename Syntax:
+;;
+;; For ease of *implementation*, the user enters the VMS filename syntax in a
+;; UNIX-y way. For example:
+;; PUB$:[ANONYMOUS.SDSCPUB.NEXT]README.TXT;1
+;; would be entered as:
+;; /PUB$$:/ANONYMOUS/SDSCPUB/NEXT/README.TXT;1
+;; i.e. to log in as anonymous on ymir.claremont.edu and grab the file:
+;; [.CSV.POLICY]RULES.MEM
+;; you would type:
+;; C-x C-f /anonymous@ymir.claremont.edu:CSV/POLICY/RULES.MEM
+;;
+;; A legal VMS filename is of the form: FILE.TYPE;##
+;; where FILE can be up to 39 characters
+;; TYPE can be up to 39 characters
+;; ## is a version number (an integer between 1 and 32,767)
+;; Valid characters in FILE and TYPE are A-Z 0-9 _ - $
+;; $ cannot begin a filename, and - cannot be used as the first or last
+;; character.
+;;
+;; Tips:
+;; 1. Although VMS is not case sensitive, EMACS running under UNIX is.
+;; Therefore, to access a VMS file, you must enter the filename with upper
+;; case letters.
+;; 2. To access the latest version of file under VMS, you use the filename
+;; without the ";" and version number. You should always edit the latest
+;; version of a file. If you want to edit an earlier version, copy it to a
+;; new file first. This has nothing to do with ange-ftp, but is simply
+;; good VMS operating practice. Therefore, to edit FILE.TXT;3 (say 3 is
+;; latest version), do C-x C-f /ymir.claremont.edu:FILE.TXT. If you
+;; inadvertently do C-x C-f /ymir.claremont.edu:FILE.TXT;3, you will find
+;; that VMS will not allow you to save the file because it will refuse to
+;; overwrite FILE.TXT;3, but instead will want to create FILE.TXT;4, and
+;; attach the buffer to this file. To get out of this situation, M-x
+;; write-file /ymir.claremont.edu:FILE.TXT will attach the buffer to
+;; latest version of the file. For this reason, in dired "f"
+;; (dired-find-file), always loads the file sans version, whereas "v",
+;; (dired-view-file), always loads the explicit version number. The
+;; reasoning being that it reasonable to view old versions of a file, but
+;; not to edit them.
+;; 3. EMACS has a feature in which it does environment variable substitution
+;; in filenames. Therefore, to enter a $ in a filename, you must quote it
+;; by typing $$.
+
+;; MTS support:
+;;
+;; Ange-ftp has full support for hosts running
+;; the Michigan terminal system. It should be able to automatically
+;; recognize any MTS machine. However, if it fails to do this, you can use
+;; the command ange-ftp-add-mts-host. As well, you can set the variable
+;; ange-ftp-mts-host-regexp in your .emacs file. We would be grateful if you
+;; would report any failures to automatically recognize a MTS host as a bug.
+;;
+;; Filename syntax:
+;;
+;; MTS filenames are entered in a UNIX-y way. For example, if your account
+;; was YYYY, the file FILE in the account XXXX: on mtsg.ubc.ca would be
+;; entered as
+;; /YYYY@mtsg.ubc.ca:/XXXX:/FILE
+;; In other words, MTS accounts are treated as UNIX directories. Of course,
+;; to access a file in another account, you must have access permission for
+;; it. If FILE were in your own account, then you could enter it in a
+;; relative name fashion as
+;; /YYYY@mtsg.ubc.ca:FILE
+;; MTS filenames can be up to 12 characters. Like UNIX, the structure of the
+;; filename does not contain a TYPE (i.e. it can have as many "."'s as you
+;; like.) MTS filenames are always in upper case, and hence be sure to enter
+;; them as such! MTS is not case sensitive, but an EMACS running under UNIX
+;; is.
+
+;; CMS support:
+;;
+;; Ange-ftp has full support for hosts running
+;; CMS. It should be able to automatically recognize any CMS machine.
+;; However, if it fails to do this, you can use the command
+;; ange-ftp-add-cms-host. As well, you can set the variable
+;; ange-ftp-cms-host-regexp in your .emacs file. We would be grateful if you
+;; would report any failures to automatically recognize a CMS host as a bug.
+;;
+;; Filename syntax:
+;;
+;; CMS filenames are entered in a UNIX-y way. In otherwords, minidisks are
+;; treated as UNIX directories. For example to access the file READ.ME in
+;; minidisk *.311 on cuvmb.cc.columbia.edu, you would enter
+;; /anonymous@cuvmb.cc.columbia.edu:/*.311/READ.ME
+;; If *.301 is the default minidisk for this account, you could access
+;; FOO.BAR on this minidisk as
+;; /anonymous@cuvmb.cc.columbia.edu:FOO.BAR
+;; CMS filenames are of the form FILE.TYPE, where both FILE and TYPE can be
+;; up to 8 characters. Again, beware that CMS filenames are always upper
+;; case, and hence must be entered as such.
+;;
+;; Tips:
+;; 1. CMS machines, with the exception of anonymous accounts, nearly always
+;; need an account password. To have ange-ftp send an account password,
+;; you can either include it in your .netrc file, or use
+;; ange-ftp-set-account.
+;; 2. Ange-ftp cannot send "write passwords" for a minidisk. Hopefully, we
+;; can fix this.
+;;
+;; ------------------------------------------------------------------
+;; Bugs:
+;; ------------------------------------------------------------------
+;;
+;; 1. Umask problems:
+;; Be warned that files created by using ange-ftp will take account of the
+;; umask of the ftp daemon process rather than the umask of the creating
+;; user. This is particularly important when logging in as the root user.
+;; The way that I tighten up the ftp daemon's umask under HP-UX is to make
+;; sure that the umask is changed to 027 before I spawn /etc/inetd. I
+;; suspect that there is something similar on other systems.
+;;
+;; 2. Some combinations of FTP clients and servers break and get out of sync
+;; when asked to list a non-existent directory. Some of the ai.mit.edu
+;; machines cause this problem for some FTP clients. Using
+;; ange-ftp-kill-ftp-process can restart the ftp process, which
+;; should get things back in sync.
+;;
+;; 3. Ange-ftp does not check to make sure that when creating a new file,
+;; you provide a valid filename for the remote operating system.
+;; If you do not, then the remote FTP server will most likely
+;; translate your filename in some way. This may cause ange-ftp to
+;; get confused about what exactly is the name of the file. The
+;; most common causes of this are using lower case filenames on systems
+;; which support only upper case, and using filenames which are too
+;; long.
+;;
+;; 4. Null (blank) passwords confuse both ange-ftp and some FTP daemons.
+;;
+;; 5. Ange-ftp likes to use pty's to talk to its FTP processes. If GNU Emacs
+;; for some reason creates a FTP process that only talks via pipes then
+;; ange-ftp won't be getting the information it requires at the time that
+;; it wants it since pipes flush at different times to pty's. One
+;; disgusting way around this problem is to talk to the FTP process via
+;; rlogin which does the 'right' things with pty's.
+;;
+;; 6. For CMS support, we send too many cd's. Since cd's are cheap, I haven't
+;; worried about this too much. Eventually, we should have some caching
+;; of the current minidisk.
+;;
+;; 7. Some CMS machines do not assign a default minidisk when you ftp them as
+;; anonymous. It is then necessary to guess a valid minidisk name, and cd
+;; to it. This is (understandably) beyond ange-ftp.
+;;
+;; 8. Remote to remote copying of files on non-Unix machines can be risky.
+;; Depending on the variable ange-ftp-binary-file-name-regexp, ange-ftp
+;; will use binary mode for the copy. Between systems of different
+;; architecture, this still may not be enough to guarantee the integrity
+;; of binary files. Binary file transfers from VMS machines are
+;; particularly problematical. Should ange-ftp-binary-file-name-regexp be
+;; an alist of OS type, regexp pairs?
+;;
+;; 9. The code to do compression of files over ftp is not as careful as it
+;; should be. It deletes the old remote version of the file, before
+;; actually checking if the local to remote transfer of the compressed
+;; file succeeds. Of course to delete the original version of the file
+;; after transferring the compressed version back is also dangerous,
+;; because some OS's have severe restrictions on the length of filenames,
+;; and when the compressed version is copied back the "-Z" or ".Z" may be
+;; truncated. Then, ange-ftp would delete the only remaining version of
+;; the file. Maybe ange-ftp should make backups when it compresses files
+;; (of course, the backup "~" could also be truncated off, sigh...).
+;; Suggestions?
+;;
+;; 10. If a dir listing is attempted for an empty directory on (at least
+;; some) VMS hosts, an ftp error is given. This is really an ftp bug, and
+;; I don't know how to get ange-ftp work to around it.
+;;
+;; 11. Bombs on filenames that start with a space. Deals well with filenames
+;; containing spaces, but beware that the remote ftpd may not like them
+;; much.
+;;
+;; 12. The dired support for non-Unix-like systems does not currently work.
+;; It needs to be reimplemented by modifying the parse-...-listing
+;; functions to convert the directory listing to ls -l format.
+;;
+;; 13. The famous @ bug. As mentioned above in TIPS, ULTRIX marks symlinks
+;; with a trailing @ in a ls -alF listing. In order to account for this
+;; ange-ftp looks to chop trailing @'s off of symlink names when it is
+;; parsing a listing with the F switch. This will cause ange-ftp to
+;; incorrectly get the name of a symlink on a non-ULTRIX host if its name
+;; ends in an @. ange-ftp will correct itself if you take F out of the
+;; dired ls switches (C-u s will allow you to edit the switches). The
+;; dired buffer will be automatically reverted, which will allow ange-ftp
+;; to fix its files hashtable. A cookie to anyone who can think of a
+;; fast, sure-fire way to recognize ULTRIX over ftp.
