Subject: squid and ftp

> My users complain that the password is not embedded in the directory
> listing from a passworded ftp site
>
> example:
> in the site ftp://user:password@some.ftp.site
>
> the URL associated for sub-directories is
> ftp://user@some.ftp.site/subdirectory
>
> Netscape prompts for the password each time you go deeper in the tree,
> and Internet Explorer does not prompt, resulting in Squid complaining
> for an authentication.
>
> Do you know how to keep the ":password" in the URLs generated by
> ftpget ?
