Run FTP with Emacs

With Emacs you can bring in a file from a remote host just like to find a file on the local host. Suppose you want to get file ~u4221/test1.f from f.nersc.gov, type:

         C-x C-f
         /f.nersc.gov:~u4221/test1.f

The file will appear in the Emacs window if your `.netrc' has an entry somthing like:

machine f.nersc.gov login u4221 password xxxyyy

Otherwise, password is required. See FTP, for additional information.
