Try an abbreviation instead:
cnoreabbrev myserver ftp://ftp.myserver.com/mystuff
Notice that I didn't include the final slash, because you would type
tabnew myserver/index.htm
to get
tabnew ftp://ftp.myserver.com/mystuff/index.htm
(Abbreviations are not recursive).
Alternately, use ":cnoremap" instead of ":cmap" in order to avoid
recursively remapping the "myserver" contained in the expantion of the
mapping.
Note that mappings are applied to the {rhs} of abbreviations unless you
use noreabbrev/cnoreabbrev/inoreabbrev (just like they are for mappings
except with the "noremap" family of commands).
Best regards,
Tony.
