There is a `.wgetrc' command for setting the password, which you can
use on the command line with `-e' (`--execute'). For example:
wget -e 'login=foo' -e 'passwd=bar' ftp://server/dir/file
The same can be achieved with:
wget ftp://foo:bar@server/dir/file
Or you can store the username/password in `.netrc'.
