Dear bug team:

(BTW - still a bug with version 1.16 too)

You suggest we should inform you if efs fails to recognize a remote
host - this is true for ftp.geocities.com, so I set it to dumb-unix as
you suggested.  I'm afraid you'd have to register with them to get an
account.  (Damn useful though if you need more web space - 11Mb free!)

I assume as a consequence of having to set it to be dumb-unix it can't 
rename files to save backup files.

efs is great!  Thank you for your work.  By the way the procedure for
configuring for working via a gateway machine wasn't easy to
discover...

Thanks, James.
