Hi Steve,

This is generally not a good idea, as RFC959 has no provision for
quoting in password strings.  An ftp server may choose to take the
quotes as part of the password.  (I know at least one that does.)  I
don't really see any reliable way for RFC959 to support passwords with =

initial spaces at all.
