I don't think so.  "~incal" is the home directory of the user "incal".
But only, if "~incal" is the first part of a file name.

Also, if I take what you wrote above, namely that
"incal@srv.dataswamp.org:public_html" works, that means that
"public_html" is a subdirectory *inside* of the home directory of user
"incal".

Be not confused by how Apache re-uses this concept.  Apache makes the
*directory* "~incal/public_html" into the *URL*
"http://srv.dataswamp.org/~incal"; without "public_html".  But that
mapping is not active in the underlying file system.

HTH, benny
