Yes, that works well.

I for one have never been able set my password in ~/.netrc.gpg. Whatever
line I've entered, tramp always ask me for my ftp server password. I
have also tried entering it in my authinfo file with

(setq ange-ftp-netrc-filename "~/path/to/authinfo")

but that doesn't work either.

Does anyone know the correct "machine <name> login port password, etc."
format?
