Here's the long description:

http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ftpurl.html


The short one is:

Anonymous (login: "anonymous", password: "guest@"):
    ftp://HOST/path/to/file

With a username/password:
    ftp://USER:PASSWORD@HOST/path/to/file


The path ("path/to/file" in my example) is relative.  That is, if a
user's homedir is /home/joe, then path/to/file is treated by every
browser I've ever used as /home/joe/path/to/file, probably because they
just do a series of relative CDs.

Here's an example link from our support site:

ftp://support.onstor.com/outbound/software/EverON/early/2.2.2.4/22xx/Eve
rON-2.2.2.4BC.tar.gz

Or from the internal upgrade server, which uses a username/password:

ftp://upgrade:password@10.2.0.2/PATCHES/EverON-2.2.2.4BC.tar.gz=20

If you want to be really spiffy, then leaving out the password
("ftp://upgrade@10.2.0.2...") would make the script prompt you for it,
so that users don't have to enter in in plain sight, as they do with the
current NFXSH upgrade command.  But that's not necessary, just
nice-to-have.
