It is trying to connect to the host ftp.  This means that
ange-ftp-name-format has the wrong value, I think.  Can you check the
value of ange-ftp-name-format at that spot?

The regular expression should allow for two colons in the line and
should generally look similar to the Tramp regexp.

Also, please check the variable file-name-handler-alist.  Is ange-ftp
mentioned there?  It shouldn't.
