FTP Options
--ftp-user=user
--ftp-password=password
Specify the username user and password password on an FTP server. Without this, or the corresponding
startup option, the password defaults to -wget@, normally used for anonymous FTP.
Another way to specify username and password is in the URL itself. Either method reveals your
password to anyone who bothers to run "ps". To prevent the passwords from being seen, store them in
.wgetrc or .netrc, and make sure to protect those files from other users with "chmod". If the
passwords are really important, do not leave them lying in those files either---edit the files and
delete them after Wget has started the download.
