I saw the same exact problem. Add a "-u" to the list which is the
value of the efs-ftp-program-args variable (either using the Customize
facility (i.e. "M-x customize-variable efs-ftp-program-args") (probably
the cleanest), or perhaps something like
(eval-after-load "efs"
'(setq efs-ftp-program-args (cons "-u" efs-ftp-program-args)))
,or even;
(setq efs-ftp-program-args (list "-u" "-i" "-n" "-g" "-v"))
,but that last suggestion is ugly, and may the wrath of Elisp gods
fall on my head for even mentioning it.
The "-u" tells RedHat ftp client not to try to do
"auto-authentication" -- see the ftp(1) man page on your RedHat box
for details.
Hope this helps

Thanks for figuring this out. Could someone report this bug to the
RedHat folks? Or is it gone in 7.0?

I missed these to, and therefore I tried to use the find-dired.el
from Emacs 20.7 with XEmacs. It needs only a tiny patch to work.
Here is the patch:
and here is the complete find-dired.el with the above patch applied,

Steve, can this be added to XEmacs?
