Urgh, I'm losing track of what you want here, at any rate, with ssh as
default-method :-
- to fetch a file with ssh use : /<user>@<host>:<file>
- to fetch a file with ftp use : /ftp:<user>@<host>:<file>
WITH ftp as default-method :-
- to fetch a file with ssh use : /ssh:<user>@<host>:<file>
- to fetch a file with use : /<user>@<host>:<file>
You can also always override the default-method by specifying :-
/<method>:<user>@<host>:

I've never heard of this before although one of the tramp gurus may
have had the problems while experimenting. At any rate, check your
*Messages* buffer to check that tramp is loading and is being used. If
not and you've required tramp in your .emacs then it sounds like tramp
is not being loaded : try tramp-version to make sure.
