I guess that should really be:

Or, to add all the extras:
ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:portnum/filepath
Obviously, you only include portnum, if FTP is running on an
irregular port (not 21).
Before you start using it, don't forget, that certain browsers
forwarded the complete URL - including UID/PWD - to the
server as referrer. Thus, you might expose UID/PWD to third parties.
That said, I use it myself too, but wouldn't propose it
for security related stuff.
I wouldn't use FTP if any security is involved :-) FTP, just as POP3
and SMTP, just send passwords unencrypted to the server, so a simple
network sniffer would be more than enough to pick up your login and
password. If you want secure FTP, POP3, SMTP, you'll have to use SSL
or SSH. Now, how to use this with REALbasic, that's a whole different
story ;-)
