The latter is a variant which does not introduce > any additional special characters Actually, now that I think about it, ange-ftp _already_ uses another character -- `#' to specify the port to use. Here are the ange-ftp syntaxes: /HOST:FILENAME /USER@HOST:FILENAME /USER@HOST#PORT:FILENAME It would actually be quite natural to put the tramp method where the ange-ftp port is (after all the method is sort of a `port'), and it should be unambiguous if the ange-ftp port is always a number and the tramp method always a string [from a limited set]. Hmmm, seems quite good actually... -Miles -- Freedom's just another word, for nothing left to lose --Janis Joplin
