Hi.

Currently, if you include a username and password in a URL, the entire
URL, including the password, is displayed when first connecting to the
site in the lftp 'cd' command. This is demonstrated below:
lftp 1 :~> open ftp://blah:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
cd `ftp://blah:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/' [Connecting...]
This isn't such a problem, as the password has already been seen anyway;
one should use open -u if one wants the password to not be displayed at
all. However, this is most certainly a problem as far as bookmarks are
concerned:
lftp 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> bookmark add foo
lftp 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> bookmark list
...
foo                     ftp://blah:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
...
bookmark list obscures the password, which is nice. However, upon a
restart of lftp:
lftp 1 :~> open foo
cd `ftp://blah:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/' [Connecting...]
Normally, this flashes by too fast to notice, but this is not always the
case. It would be great if the password could either be obscured or not
shown at all; one of the following:
cd `ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/' [Connecting...]
or
cd `ftp://blah:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/' [Connecting...]

Thanks for such a great client and your ever-continuing efforts!

Jamie
