Think I know what you mean now... Though it's send in the header it isn't completely hidden. Firefox will save the location with the password to it's history list.

it's impossible to give them personalized ftp access, without an account.
what you could do is periodically change their ftp password. Or make the account expire very shortly after the redirection script has run (so they have the time login (through redirect), but after they can't use the account anymore).
I think this relatively easy to accomplish if your ftp daemon uses a mysql or ldap backend (instead of the default /etc/passwd).

The users have personalized FTP-accounts.
Unfortunately, I can only change the passwords manually.
I think I will just make a combination of my old filesystem with an option to log in to the FTP-server (since the otherwise apparently does not have a straightforward solution when I do not have full control over the server)
Again, thank you for your time, all of you.
