The CS dept at McGill implements ftp through skey (one time passwords with a
preagreed shared secret). When I connect, the 331 server response changes each
time:

~$ telnet ftp.cs.mcgill.ca 21
Trying 132.206.51.75...
Connected to ftp.cs.mcgill.ca.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 wase.CS.McGill.CA FTP server (Version 6.00LS) ready.
user bbaetz
331 s/key 97 wa79514 (s/key required)

I can use the response to generate the one time password. See the URL for more
info.

Mozilla doesn't display the 331 response (ncftp does, lynx doesn't), and so I
can't use this. It would be nice if mozilla displayed this response is the
dialog box.

Is the URL a web page that describes this server's security? The page seems to 
be missing.

+ testcase: use ftp://user@ftp.mozilla.org/ returns a 331 to USER.

I get it. Ignore comment #2.

Investigating configuring this on any ftp servers in my test bed.
I have no time to work on mozilla at the moment, so dougt is taking over FTP
