================================================================ Dear Bug Team! The efs package apparently doesn't like certain kinds of FTP servers. For example, when trying to access a remote file located on an IRIX 6.5.19f server, I get the following errors: (1) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (error Unable to identify server code.) (2) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (ftp-error FTP Error: DIR failed: 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||40487|)) (3) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (error Unable to identify server code.) (4) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (error Unable to identify server code.) (5) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (error Unable to identify server code.) (6) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (error Unable to identify server code.) (7) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (ftp-error FTP Error: CWD 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||15938|) failed: ) (8) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (error Unable to identify server code.) (9) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (ftp-error FTP Error: DIR failed: 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||22662|)) I'm not sure if this is the proper fix but I've worked around the problem by changing: (defvar efs-cmd-ok-msgs ;; RFC959 compliant "^200 \\|^227 ") to: (defvar efs-cmd-ok-msgs ;; RFC959 compliant "^200 \\|^227 \\|^229 ") in efs.el Here's the backtrace: Signaling: (error "Unable to identify server code.") signal(error ("Unable to identify server code.")) cerror("Unable to identify server code.") apply(cerror "Unable to identify server code." nil) error("Unable to identify server code.") efs-process-scream-and-yell("229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||51943|)") efs-process-handle-line("229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||51943|)" #<process "*ftp long＠ibis*" pid 51364 state:run>) efs-process-filter(#<process "*ftp long＠ibis*" pid 51364 state:run> "229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||51943|)\n") accept-process-output(#<process "*ftp long＠ibis*" pid 51364 state:run>) byte-code("..."
