username in ftp:// urls

[Barna Daniel]

Hi,

Thanks, that's a straightforward and clear solution. I gave only the 
ftp://hostname/dir/ location for dolphin, and provided the 
username/password in the prompt.

I still think that it would be a bit more logical that if once the user 
logged in to a remote site - either by giving the username in the prompt, 
or in the URL - the URL of a to-be-opened file within this session would 
contain the username. But that's just a side remark.

Thanks
