M$ win98 ftp client displays password on screen in cleartext in debug mode.

The debugging feature is useful, but I think not for this one. ftp> debug Debugging On . ftp> open ftp.ebizlab.hit.bme.hu Connected to ftp.ebizlab.hit.bme.hu. 220 ProFTPD 1.2.0pre4 Server (E-Biz ftp server) [fermat.ebizlab.hit.bme.hu] User (ftp.ebizlab.hit.bme.hu:(none)): foo ---> USER foo 331 Password required for foo.
