zftp and Ange-ftp ?

zftp and Ange-ftp ?

[Xavier Maillard]

Hello,

I just wanted to know if it is possible to tell ange-ftp (an
emacs module) to use the zftp builtin command instead of any
other FTP client and so, get rid of any other FTP client.

Greetings,

It'd require some work.  It looks as if ange-ftp wants to send
standard FTP client commands, whereas zftp wants everything to
be prefixed with "zftp ", and I don't see a hook anywhere in
the ange-ftp lisp that would let you modify the commands sent.

So you'd have to create a wrapper around the zf* functions to
mimic the standard ftp command set, and even then I'm not very
confident that ange-ftp would be able parse the output.

Ok. Thank you for your answer ;)

I will continue using zftp on the command line and
Tramp/Ange-Ftp when in Emacs then.
