Well, opening an FTQ connection might not be what you want. Do you have
some Tramp settings in your .emacs, which makes ftp the default connection?

What happens, if you open "/ssh:uk-rhel53qa32:myextract.txt" (I assume
you want to use ssh)?

And what do you want to get with "/acomber:uk-rhel53qa32:myextract.txt"?
That's not a valid Tramp file name, I guess you mean
"/ssh:acomber@uk-rhel53qa32:myextract.txt".

Best regards, Michael.
