How many places did you have to change where Tramp currently invokes shell commands? *looking* Oh, tramp-smb is quite long :-) Whee. So it wouldn't be all that easy to adapt Tramp for FTP; one would have to redo all the work you did on tramp-smb and then perhaps more. (Ange-FTP contains lots of kludges for various kinds of servers.) So I guess the workable approach would be to aim for some closer integration of Ange-FTP into Tramp. Maybe frob the place where Ange-FTP calls the ftp client, but once the ftp client has been started, let Ange-FTP take over to do all the chit-chat with the server for filename completion and suchlike.
