Yes, that would be the -f parameter every ncftp tool understands. The 
constructor __init__ can create a temporary user read/write-only file and if 
python has something like a destructor there it can be deleted. :-)

While nsftp hides the username and password in its ps/top output the command 
starts in a separate shell and there you can see it.

Bye
