I'm having a problem with the Tramp/Ange-FTP which comets with Emacs32
20070501 (patched and unpatched). I have set the variable
tramp-default-method to "ftp" so that I am forcing the use of ange-ftp.
Tramp plays even less well with Tru64.
When I connect to a Tru64 4.0d system, running it's "FTP server Digital
UNIX Version 5.60" everything appears to work fine. However, when I save my
work the save "hangs" for a long time. The file is written successfully
almost immediately; however, Emacs hangs and the modification flag in the
status bar at the bottom does not change from *'s to dashes. The hang will
clear successfully after, literally, a minute or two. A CTRL-G will also
clear the hang, though the status bar and buffer write-status remain set as
"changed, not saved".
I can use the exact same setup and perform the exact same action to log
onto, modify, and save a file to Linux or Sun systems without any obvious
trouble. Therefore, it appears to be something to do with Tru64's FTP server.
An old version of ange-ftp (1.14?) does NOT have this problem. However,
it does have trouble working with Tramp and can't perform a simple filename
completion because of changes to the code.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem using EmacsW32 ange-ftp
with Tru64's FTP? If so, did you fix it?
