I want to connect to an FTP server and get some files.

I found the "Being an FTP Client" document in the Perl
Cookbook which has the following lines:

$ftp = Net::FTP->new("ftp.host.com") or die "Can't
connect: $@\n";
$ftp->login($username, $passwd) or die "Couldn't
login\n";

My question is:
Do the username and passwd have to be hardcoded in the
script or can I pass these values from a file?  Does
ftp have any way of getting credentials (at least for
the password) from an encrypted file?

Thanks in advance for any advice in this.
