[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]
I have tried to set up file shadowing so a local file is shadowed to an FTP account.
The file .shadows looks as follows:
(setq shadow-clusters nil)
(setq shadow-literal-groups
'(("/ftp:mylogin <at> myftpserver:~/private/test" "/martin <at> gandalf:~/test")))
(setq shadow-regexp-groups nil)
After modifying the test file locally and invoking 'shadow-copy-files' the message buffer contains the following:
Tramp: Opening connection for martin <at> ftp using scp...
Tramp: Waiting 60s for local shell to come up...
Tramp: Sending command `ssh ftp -l martin -q -e none && exit || exit'
Tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell
File error: Process died
Shadow /ftp:mylogin <at> myftpserver:~/private/test not updated!
Wrote /home/martin/.shadow_todo
Unfortunately the documentation is rather vague, so I might not have set up shadowing correctly.

No response, I'm closing the bugs. Feel free to report if you encounter
