Hello,

I want to have ange-ftp use a different ftp program "rftp" when
ange-ftp-local-host-regexp is nil, but NOT go through a gateway host.
The "rftp" program we use goes through the firewall but since it does
not work on local hosts, I need to use "ftp" when
ange-ftp-local-host-regexp is t.

My thought about setting this up would look like this:
(setq ange-ftp-gateway-ftp-program-name "rftp")  ; firewall ftp
(setq ange-ftp-gateway-host nil)   ; no gateway host
;; any host with no "." is considered local for us
(setq ange-ftp-local-host-regexp "^[^.]*$")

I'm running both Lucid Emacs 19.9 and FSF Emacs 19.22 so I'm assuming
I have the latest version of ange-ftp.

Please reply to me directly since I'm not on this list.

Thanks,
-Bill
