A solution to the brain fade problem when attempting to connect with little used ftp sites is to have a dot netrc file in your home directory. It stores URL's logins and passwords, your ftp client should search for this file and if it finds a matching URL automagicly transmit your login and password. Teh Google suggests that gftp supports this file. Warning: The netrc file stores your login and password in plain text, so you need to be comfortable with the lack of security in this file. My computer has a man page for the netrc file format.
