Subject: bug with XEmacs and sgnus-0.84
Date: 14 May 1996 15:40:29 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <xjn689zkk6q.fsf@hawaii.cs.unm.edu> (raw)
Hey,
I use XEmacs-19.13 and have been using sgnus-0.69 to read both mail
and news. I recently tried to get gnus to use ange-ftp to read my mail
from home. With XEmacs it does not work because when it can't find the
file /nfs/u8/jasons/.newsrc-lynx.unm.edu/. it then tries to list
/nfs/u8/jasons/. and then it gives up, but not under FSF Emacs 19.30
(both using the same setup files), as it then tries to find the .eld
version, which exists.
First, why does it look for a directory (i.e. the "/." at the end of
the file name) - is that a Gnus bug or an ange-ftp bug?
Second, why does Emacs continue properly but not XEmacs. Please don't
force me to change back to Emacs.
Here are sample ftp sessions from both Emacs and XEmacs:
Sample from XEmacs ftp buffer:
ftp> pwd
257 "/nfs/u8/jasons" is current directory.
ftp> ls "-al /nfs/u8/jasons/.newsrc-lynx.unm.edu/." /tmp/ange-ftpa00752
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening data connection for /bin/ls (198.59.151.207,1531) (0 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
ftp> ls "-al /nfs/u8/jasons/." /tmp/ange-ftpa00752
200 PORT command successful.
