The question is whether file://remote-host/ URIs are out there in the
wild. (Stefan and Daniel, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves,
users are unlikely to use file: themselves -- so especially in that
situation Emacs should DTRT *for* them.)

I would hope that "emacs file://host/foo" is equivalent to "ssh host
emacs file:///foo". For ftpds running in a chroot, that won't be the
case. So I would prefer scp or ssh to FTP here. (Why, yes, We Are
Not Human, We Are TRAMPs!)
