I suspect both would work with standard url passwording:

wget ftp://username:password@server//path/to/url

links http://username:password@server/path/to/file

N.B. this is a common hacker trick.

You get an email telling you to go to
http://www.barclays.co.uk/account/details AT evilhacker.com/password.html and
enter your secret bank passwords
- but that is a page under evilhacker.com, not barclays.co.uk, because
everything before the @ in a url is considered to be logon details.
