That's a bit better, but I still have to back up and enter my username.  URLs
copied from browsers usually don't contain it.

It seems like this is something that would fit as part of the bookmark
facility, eg. "bookmark passwd *foo.com glenn pass; get http://ftp.foo.com/file".
(Unfortunately, I won't have time to try implementing something like that in
the near future ...)
