Huck,

I don't have nvu loaded here, but I have seen other tools (mostly web 
browsers, but this is built from mozilla) that require the ftp address as:

ftp://user@site.com  

It will then prompt for a password. 

or 

ftp://user:password@site.com
(be careful not to save the seesion an store your password this way)

So using your example it would be

ftp://huck@frank.smith.net

Maybe you could try this format.
