true, but also true is
"This command can cause some servers to hangup, so you'll have to feel your
way. "

I still had the connection dropping with -k when I tried it

It would be nice if ftpfs auto re-connected once it dropped

it would also be great if it would take a username & password from the
command line or factotum

you can do

echo 'my_username
my_password' > ftppass

ftpfs ftp.com < ftppass
