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.
