|   I can use ange-ftp to write/save files as another user (different from
|   my login ID) but is there some way to execute shell commands as another
|   user? When I do 'M-x shell-command' in a ange-ftped buffer the commands
|   are not executed with the other user's permissions and it would be nice
|   to be able to do so. Please email any suggestions.

|   Here is a little package I have been using to provide an ange-ftp'ified
|   shell-command.  Not much documentation, but then its not very
|   complicated.
|
|   Will efs provide anything like this?

you should investigate the SITE EXEC command available in some FTP daemons.
