Installing EFS


Installing EFS
**************

   There are a few customisations after installation you might need to
make. The ideal configuration is to have the FTP process running on the
same machine as you are running Emacs on, but this is not always
possible since some machines cannot access hosts outside the local
network. In this case, the FTP process needs to be run on a machine
which *does* have access to the local world -- this is called the
*gateway host*. EFS has facilities to make use of a gateway host when
accessing remote hosts.
