The problems seems to come from ange-ftp-canonize-filename which
replaces /ftp:address@hidden:/some/path/index.html with
ftp:/some/path/index.html and then usees the defaults values address@hidden
for accessing that file.

But I'm not very sure, as it works since i add

(add-to-list 'tramp-default-method-alist '("\\ftp-b\\." "" "ftp"))

to my .emacs and just use "/address@hidden:/some/path/index.html.

The "/ftp:" part of the syntax seems to irritate ange-ftp?!
