[ILUG] Xemacs using efs to open a file via FTP

I've never wanted to do this before, but now that I do, I'm hitting all
kinds of problems. From a quick look at TFIF (as against TFM) I gather that
all you have to do is use a filename like

/niall at domain somebox.com:/path/to/file

but I'm getting lots of errors which usually seem to say that /path/to/file is
not a directory which is fine, it's not, but why does efs seem to assume
that it should be ?

I've tried this with various differents emacsen, and various remote boxes,
all to no avail. Can some kind soul please point me in the right direction ?

Regards,

Niall
