This is cool. Could someone remind me what the syntax is for logging in with a particular username/password?

Haven't tried it on OS X but I bet it works!

chokes on some passwords?

On that note, has anyone had problems with non-alphanum chars in their FTP passwords? I have "%" in one password, and the Finder refuses to connect. This happens if I use the "ftp://user:pass@ftp.host.com" or just "ftp://user@ftp.host.com" and enter the password in the dialog box.

Just too sorry that the Finder will ONLY let you in in guest mode, ie. No write access!
