Another feature of ange-ftp is that the above line can be expanded
slightly: 

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

So, the example can be:

	"/anonymous@uunet.uu.net:/pub"

You will get prompted for a password, or ange-ftp will read the
password from your .netrc file.
