While using GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (mips-dec-ultrix4.2) of Wed Sep 14 1994 on sooth
with the relevant ange-ftp variables in my .emacs


;; set up ftp
;-------------------------------------------------------------
(setq ange-ftp-ftp-program-name "gate-ftp")
(setq ange-ftp-default-user "anonymous")
(setq ange-ftp-default-password "kunz@zso.dec.com")
(setq ange-ftp-generate-anonymous-password "kunz@zso.dec.com")
(setq ange-ftp-retry-time 20)
(setq ange-ftp-dumb-unix-host-regexp ".*")
;-------------------------------------------------------------

and executing the following:

  /alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu:ange-ftp<return>

the following command gets executed on the remote host to list the directory:

dir /mnt/gig1/users/kunz/ange-ftp/ <A TEMPORARY FILE>

and get a file or directory not found error message.  /mnt/gig1/users/kunz is
my local homve directory.

If I execute the following:

  /alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu:/ange-ftp<return>

the following command gets executed on the remote host to list the directory:

dir /ange-ftp/ <A TEMPORARY FILE>

and I correctly end up with the directory listing in a buffer.
