Re: ftp from Emacs

[ken]

Looking at your output (below), specifically the line: 

<snip>
230 User myname@myserver.com logged in.
</snip>

shows that you *are* logged in.  Put the cursor after the "ftp>" prompt
and type "pwd" and it should show you the current directory.  Or do
"stat" and you should get the output for that.  Now do "dir".  Do you
get a listing of the files in that directory?  If you don't, then do
"passive" and try again.  Note that you'll get all this same behaviour
if you ftp in, i.e., not in emacs, but just at the command line.
