title: Using wget to download directories over FTP, but not passing the password as a parameter
body: <p>When I don't have SSH access to a server, I usually download stuff over FTP, like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>wget -r ftp://user:pass@server/path/to/dir
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I keep my password more secure? I don't like that the password is in the command, but when I try something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>wget -r ftp://user@server/path/to/dir
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it doesn't work. It gives me "Login incorrect".</p>
