This syntax works in many contexts, but it's not recommended:

ftp://userassword@site/path

This is a big security risk since the credentials are stored and displayed
as plaintext. There may be some use for links like these on a website, but
there is no excuse for using these links from a program.

A better solution to this is to store the credentials somewhere secure and
log in programmatically instead. Another option is to simply allow anonymous
access and secure access to the server itself over a VPN.
