Variable: ange-ftp-default-user

ange-ftp-default-user is a customizable variable defined in ange-ftp.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

User name to use when none is specified in a file name.

If non-nil but not a string, you are prompted for the name. If nil, the value of ange-ftp-netrc-default-user is used. If that is nil too, then your login name is used.

Once a connection to a given host has been initiated, the user name and password information for that host are cached and reused by ange-ftp. Use M-x ange-ftp-set-user (ange-ftp-set-user) to change the cached values, since setting ange-ftp-default-user directly does not affect the cached information.
