I poked around the --help for wget, and experimented, and could find no 
way to give wget the username and password for logging in.  I tried links  
g ftp://(ftpaddress) and also had no luck - bad FTP login.

wget does not like -u or user: followed by the user name.  

Is there some way to log into an ftp site with links or wget?  Neither 
asks me for username or password.
