I've got a similar question with ange-ftp

I can get there manually like this from the command line:

$ ftp
> open ftp.metajiva.com
> user address@hidden

How do I enable ange-ftp to pick the right username with the
following, otherwise ambiguous argument to find-file?


    /address@hidden@ftp.metajiva.com:

> (I regrettably have no control over my remote username.)

I, too, can't change it. What's even more annoying is that anonymous
FTP doesn't even use the loging "anoymous" -- it's
"address@hidden". So much for 30 year old standards.... 

It doesn't work through ange-ftp now. Can I configurate it to
accomodate this silly username?
