INFO
	ange-ftp - A way to edit files in the mud using Emacs.


DESCRIPTION
	This file is intended to describe how to set up ange-ftp to
	work against NannyMUDs ftp.


	First you need to add this line in your .emacs:
	(require 'ange-ftp)

	Then you create a file called .netrc with this content:

--%<-------
machine ftp.mud.lysator.liu.se login mud: password 
--%<-------

	machine is the FTP-server you want to connect to, in this case
	NannyMUDs FTP-server called ftp.mud.lysator.liu.se.
	 is your wizard characters name.
	 is your wizards characters password.

	After you have created the file you need to alter the
	file protection on .netrc.

--%<-------
~/> chmod 600 .netrc    
--%<-------

	Now you need to restart your Emacs.

	To start your ange-ftp against NannyMUD you simple do:

	C-x C-f  (To open the file-open dialog also known as M-x find-file)

	Enter this: /@ftp.mud:/ 

	And you will connect to NannyMUDs FTP server and you can use
	your emacs to edit files just as if the were found on your
	local filesystem.

	If you have problems you can always connect like this:

	C-x C-f  (To open the file-open dialog also known as M-x find-file)

	Enter this: /mud!@ftp.mud:/ 

	Where  is your wizards name.
	


NOTE
	This is of course dependent on ftp on both sides, if either side
	fail to work correctly it will not work. Also, since you are using
	FTP it will be slower that it would have been if it was files
	on your local filesystem you were editing.

	You will also need a hard-linked 'ls', talk to someone in the
	admin and they will help you with this.
