as you see here the user / password are in Blue and they are placed before the server name or in this case IP address. This a case the password is displayed in clear text on the command . To resolve this user/pass word display on the command line. we can add couple of command on the router:

Rt1#config t
Rt1(config)#ip ftp username cisco
Rt1(config)#ip ftp password pass

et voila , next time all you have to do is FTP to the address.
