Making EFS work properly is not an easy task in Windows. The problems I encountered include: * Finding an ftp client accepting input not only from stdin. The one in C:\WINDOWS is a bad one. I tried ftp.exe from ntemacs faq webpage, from Andy's local.tgz (for unknown reason it transported binaries in ascii mode), God knows where else from. Finally, I have found one that works so-so, but I really lost track where this one came from. I can make it available if anyone is interested. * Path syntax differences. For example, put //C/temp/foo /usr/path/bar won't work in any ftp.exe I have. Maybe we should bug cygnus to make a special ftp client that groks that and include it in cygwin. Maybe efs should first copy a local file to /tmp/efsfoo, and then ftp would get it from there. * cygwin's /tmp not being ftp's /tmp. It happens when cygwin root is mounted somewhere else than C:\. It led to lots of crashes (of the whole operating system) in my case until I finally realized what was going on. `ln -s //C/tmp /tmp' helped here. Similar thing: cygwin installed on another drive, not C:.
