RE: Help test EFS
I did some debugging tonight and it appears that this problem is being
caused by "200 PORT command successful" messages coming from the cygwin FTP
client after the get command is issued. EFS was thinking that this
response meant the get command was done when in fact it had only just
started. I fixed it by adding this to my custom.el file:
'(efs-skip-msgs-alist
(quote (("" . "^110 \\|^125 \\|^150 ")
("^ls \\|^put \\|^get \\|^append \\|passive" .
"^500 EPSV not understood")
("^ls \\|^put \\|^get \\|^append " .
"^200 PORT command successful"))) t)
Only the last entry is new. I have no idea what changed in efs or cygwin
to make this start failing since I'm pretty sure it worked until recently.

I've noticed that EFS says 'Done' long before the result is visible.
That's with an ADSL connection, native 21.4.3 on Win2k. If it
doesn't wait properly, this could explain why the experimental
EFS seems shaky, with both cygwin and windows ftp. Things fail
1st time, try again (when things are cached) and it works.
