check_ftp

[nagios at acmecargo.com]

I though I was clear with my first email. I'll try from a different angle. 
I am currently using check_ftp to check the ftp connection, but the plugin 
does not specify how to log in and verify the user/pass is working. My 
question in my original email was is there a plugin or way with check_ftp 
to actually log in with a user/pass to make sure the FTP server is 
authenticating properly? Included below is the help output from my 
check_ftp plugin.
