Re: gftp - ms ftp debug mode

[boldi () BUDAPEST HU (Bencsath Boldizsar)]

M$ win98 ftp client displays password on screen in cleartext in debug
mode.
I think, even in debug mode it is not a good idea to display passwords on
screen, by the way, who the hell wants to debug an ftp server's password
function with m$ ftp client.
The debugging feature is useful, but I think not for this one.
ftp> debug
Debugging On .
ftp> open ftp.ebizlab.hit.bme.hu

the same under unix:
