   Hmmm, I think I'm beginning to get the picture. Is there any documentation
   or texinfo available for ange-ftp?

As far as I know there isn't (except the short text at the beginning of
the source), but that really isn't a problem as you hardly ever interact
with ange-ftp directly. Just read the start of the file and set your
(documented) options. After that there is just one rule to remember:

	"/<hostname>:<directory>/<filename>" specifies a remote filename.

e.g. if you want to read a file in your Mail directory on
uunet.uu.net with the name "foobar", you just C-x C-f (or to
whatever you have bound the standard file open command) and
enter "/uunet.uu.net:~/Mail/foobar" as name and your file is
loaded.

It really is as simple as that and works in almost all contexts:
File reading/saving/copying, Directory movement/editing, Filename
completion a.s.o.
