Has anybody found any way to make Emacs minibuffer input, such as in find-file, correctly detect/recognise and access standard ftp-urls such as
ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/
instead of having to, by hand, convert it to to emacs's own format
/ftp:[email protected]:/pub/gcc/infrastructure/
before typing it into the minibuffer.
This would make Emacs even more accessible as a file manager when transparently working with FTP directories.
would like to see that as a feature request sent by
