Unfortuantely, no, but the answer is fairly obvious:
ftp://user:passwordļ¼ host/~/filename
(should hit the location where ftp starts, which will be your home directory).
This syntax is still not as compact as the ange-ftp syntax. If people
really wanted the URL syntax, it would be quite easy to make it an
option in EFS. This is because the first thing that EFS does is parse
the remote file name into a list. However, I would be opposed to
dropping the ange-ftp syntax, because personally I find it more
logical and convenient. Besides, it is an older standard than URL
anyway ;-)
