If you have to access you internet connection through a proxy or your FTP site requires a password, you can supply this in the URL and save having to type it in. Also, if you are using API calls and don't want to have to do the extra code to enter a username and password then you can also use this technique. The syntax is as follows: ftp://user:password@ftpserver/url-path http://user:password@url-path eg: ftp://username:password@vbusers.com or http://username:password@www.vbusers.com
