RE: FTP to a port number on a computer

You can put both on the same line with a space between them for some FTP
server, not all.  All will accept the user (CR/LF) password (CR/LF) on
separate lines.  I use to put it all on one line until I came across a site
that it did not work.  Never did find out what type of server it was.  Our
AS400 at 4.4 will not allow the user and password on the same line.

This might need to be slightly changed under some circumstances although I
have no clue what the circumstances are. On a V4R4 box I use, I've needed to
place both user and password on _the same_ line space separated, not on
separate lines. I don't do enough FTP scripting to get a feel for the
significance. All I know is that this change was the last change I made
before the script worked on that box.

Just presented FWIW; no guarantees. Might work for some at some time.
