That's /USER@HOST: where USER is ftp, HOST is ftp.gnu.org
and FILENAME is empty to specify the landing page////dir
configured by the server administrator,
a useful and important capability.

  1. If the host name starts with `ftp.' (with dot), Emacs uses FTP.
  2. If the user name is `ftp' or `anonymous', Emacs uses FTP.
