[user@host]/filename	[=> create (local) subdirectory]

[user@host]:/filename	[=> create (local) subdirectory]

[user@host.domain.tld]:/filename	[=> create (local) subdirectory]

[user@host.domain.tld]:filename	[=> create (local) subdirectory]

/user@host.domain.tld:/path/filename [=> ftp failure]

/[user@host.domain.tld]:~/filename [=> ftp failure]

/[user@host.domain.tld]/path/file	[=> create (local) subdirectory]

In the case of the ftp failure message, I'm promted for a password
first, then the ftp failure message comes up.  I believe that emacs is
trying to do ange-ftp.

In the case of the "create directory" errors, emacs (I'm guessing) is
trying to create a file on the local machine.

So does anyone know the correct syntax for tramp these days?

tnx,
