Slash character in FTP username or password #320

When the ftp password contains a forward slash, all wordmove commands fail with "Name or service unknown". This is because lftp interprets the password as a path.

To fix this, the lftp call has to be rewritten. Current version:

lftp -c 'set ftp:list-options -a; open ftp://[user]:[pass]@[host]; ...'

Slash-save version:

lftp -c 'set ftp:list-options -a; open --user [user] --password [pass] ftp://[host]; ...'

Compare lftp manpage:

            --user user       use the user for authentication
            --password pass   use the password for authentication
