i had no tramp configuration whatsoever and use the 21.3.50.1 cvs
emacs tramp.  but the default method was indeed set to "ssh"
nonetheless.

so i change it to "ftp" as per the docstring, but the problem
persists.  this has nothing to do with the access method, because i
can get the file, but i can't _save_ it.  the problem remains the
same, but i haven't yet gotten a verbose backtrace.  the current one,
after changing the default method, is:

no change.  i'll get back with the verbose backtrace soon :)
