   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.

Yes, that is a feature but i think the features to give a default login-name
if non is given in "~/.netrc" like e.g. "anonymous" and set a default password
for the anonymous login like e.g. "<myusername>@<mymachine>" largly obviates
the former feature. It is still useful sometimes, but I hardly use it
and I use "ange-ftp" a lot.
