i know about ange-ftp, but i'm curious as to why i cant get ftp from the
GNU distribution to work.

M-x ftp-list-directory

FTP get host:directory   (i type adam:~)
Username for adam (default "george"):
Password for george@adam: (i type password)

i then get a *ftp-directory buffer with...

(to) ftp: open: Unknown host

Process ftp killed

I'd like to know why is this so.....
