One of the longest man pages in history, I might add!
This was not exactly what I wanted. However, they do have something
called a "hotlist", which is a list of oft-used directories. You can add
something like:
/#ftp:username:password@ftp.server
Control-\ gets you to the hotlist. Then you can select which you want to
go directly to. That'll work.
