Close, user is constructed from user/site, pass is left unchanged. You
must prompt for a firewall user/pass/site and pass those to the normal
perl ftp open function.
The FTP commands go something like:
user FIREWALL_USER
pass FIREWALL_PASS
user FTP_USER@FTP_HOST
pass FTP_PASS
This will allow use through authenticated ftp proxies. If you have a
non-authenticated ftp proxy then you set an environ var and perl does it
automagically.
