I can't tell you how to do this, I'm afraid, because I only figured it out
by much trial and error--and only *after* I ceased to need the feature.
IIRC, you put the username in the wizard but have to enter your password
every time you connect (and of course it helps to have an Internet
connection already when you do this). When I doubleclick on an FTP site, I
get a dialog box with my username filled in and asking for my password.
