because when I attempt to open a file using the ftp protocol, tramp loads, and the ssh handler throws an error about bad hostname ftp, instead of being passed to ange-ftp. this is also the case when I start emacs -Q -l ange-ftp.How is this "suggested", and how is it a problem? From the Tramp manual: `ftp' This is not a native TRAMP method. Instead, it forwards all requests to Ange-FTP.
