Really weird. Ange-FTP invokes the command-line program ftp to do
its thing, and then Ange-FTP operates that program pretty much like a
human would do.
How quickly does it happen for you to become blacklisted? Is it
sufficient to just edit a file?
One wild guess might be that you use filename completion a lot which
might produce usage patterns in the ftp client that people normally
would not use. Maybe you could try to use dired a lot and avoid
filename completion. That would produce different usage patterns that
might avoid triggering the black ice rules.
If it triggers even by just using C-x C-f with a complete filename
(without invoking filename completion), then you might try to use the
same command-line client yourself. Then you don't have to tell the
firewall master about Ange-FTP. Instead, you just tell them that you
invoke ftp and issue the commands foo, bar, baz and then black ice
blacklists you.
