Hi!

I think wget is the best command line download utility, but:

Wget handles this url badly:
<----------------------  begin of screenshot
--------------------------------->
pila@server686:/tmp$ wget ftp://anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@www.xxx.org/ 
--20:55:11--  ftp://anonymous:*password*@[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
           => `.listing'
Resolving [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed: Host not found.
unlink: No such file or directory
pila@server686:/tmp[1]$
<------------------------  end of screenshot
--------------------------------->
You can see, that wget splits this url badly (as opposed to
Netscape). The correct split would be:
protocol = ftp
user = anonymous
pass = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
host = www.xxx.org
file+path = /

If some RFC says that You are right, then it could be solved
in an other way:
there are --http-user, --http-passwd, --proxy-user and
--proxy-passwd
options to wget.
What about --ftp-user and --ftp-passwd options?

Bye,
