I just downloaded rcp.el, and found it to be less convenient than ange-ftp.
First, I couldn't get it to work using scp2 at all - I got an infinite loop
where it was trying to find my password, but without ever asking me for it!
Second, maybe I'm missing something, but it doesn't seem to offer filename
completion in the same way ange-ftp does. You have to type in the entire
file name.
It seems that the best solution would just be to compile a version of sftp2
that can be used as a replacement for ftp by ange-ftp. Unfortunately, at
least under NT, I can't do this with the version of sftp2 I have.
