See /hurd/ftpfs --help:

SERVER can be a hostname, in which case anonymous ftp is used, or may
include a user and password like `USER:PASSWORD@HOST' (the `:PASSWORD'
part is optional).

So in theory you can pass user+password. But that will then show up in
ls, so you don't actually want this. Something would need to be added to
hostmux and/or ftpfs to support this in a safe way.
