Mmm... it's quite nicely done.  Unfortunately, it would require some  
patching of 'ftp', as 'ftp' only supports .netrc files, rather than  
any form of delegation.  There should really be a modular delegation  
mechanism for it, that would allow Keychain (and perhaps Kerberos on  
BSD... hmmm)

I'm using 'lftp' anyway, as I need the 'mirror' functionality.   
Lftp's a bit pants, though, but I can't find anything better.

I'm about ---> <--- that far from leaving GoDaddy and getting a  
Dreamhost account with the rsync, svn and scp/sftp loveliness  
anyway.  All of that's handled by the brilliant SSHKeychain app.
