Re: rssh.el interactions with ange-ftp/efs

That is the effect, I haven't looked "under the hood". Then a normal ftp client pointed at the afore mentioned port, as in 'ftp localhost 2121' can login to the ftp server on the above mentioned remote host and proceed as usual. There is no crypto in ftpsshd. The encrypted channels are provided by ssh. jam
