Finally, it means that ange-ftp.el uses auth-source.el. Anything goes,
but somebody must implement it. And auth-source.el has its own
interpretation of the "port" element in .netrc/.authinfo lines, which is
kind of incompatible.

I'll mark this bug report as wishlist. If nobody beats me I'll could do
it, but it will take time (too many other open requests). And for the
time being, you'll be able to apply the workaround.

You could try it yourself :-)

Otherwise, I will ask you at least for tests, when the implementation
happens.
