Tramp uses internally `tramp-ftp-file-name-p' for ange-ftp and `tramp-efs-file-name-p' for efs. Both functions expect a proper Tramp file name syntax; you should check it before. Something like this: ;; work around bug in ange-ftp. ;; /ftp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: => nil ;; /ftp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:./ => ok (and (tramp-tramp-file-p dir) (fboundp 'tramp-ftp-file-name-p dir) (funcall 'tramp-ftp-file-name-p dir) (string-match ":\\'" dir) (file-name-all-completions "" (concat dir "./"))) This should work for both Tramp 2.0 and 2.1; there are no plans to change the interface. >>> (file-directory-p "/telnet:kfs@") >>> or >>> (file-directory-p "/telnet:kfs@:") >>> >>> tramp signals "Login failure" in both cases. >> >> I know.

How can ido > know whether it makes sense to set tramp-completion-mode or not? It cannot, because my proposal was nonsense. The problem is that `file-directory-p' can give only an answer when it accesses the remote host. If it is urged to just reply nil under special circumstances, it is not worth to be called. When you're doing file name completion, the file name is not complete, and calling `file-directory-p' would try to access a host which does not exist. What we could do is to introduce an option saying "access this host only if there is already a connection". This would avoid the "Login Failed" error you've mentioned. The question is what `file-directory-p' should return in case there isn't a connection yet: nil, or a dont-know value as Richard did suggest?
