I have just tried this locally with a username and password to access
ftp://localhost/ and I did not have these problems (but others, see
later).

I don't know why this should be happening like this.  Can you try
repeating this with localhost and run wwwoffled with the '-d 6' option
to get ALL of the FTP messages.


The problems that I saw when trying to access ftp://localhost/ with a
username and a password were that the directory relocation message
that comes back for ftp://username:password@localhost/foo when foo is
a directory was for ftp://localhost/foo/ which has dropped the
username and password.  Also the links from the HTML directory entries
failed since they also omitted the username and password.
