Well, in some contexts (such as ido with regexp matching), using square brackets in a file name component is "normal" behaviour. I would recommend using a syntax which does not conflict with normal regexp syntax. > /method#user@host:file > because `#' is already used by Ange-FTP as a special character I think this is a good compromise. Also, with ftp method, it is possible to specify the port as in /ftp#user@host#port:file --=20 Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
