Thorsten, background login is useless when you want to log in with a
password. Why?
Because many FTP servers to which you may want to log in with user/pw
combo also support anon login, and you would never get prompted for the
password.

What would be worth the effort is logging in anonymously, and if it is
possible, keeping the connection around while prompting the user
(o) Log in anonymously
( ) Log in with a user account
User name [ ]
Password [ ********** ]
Where "Log in anonymously" would be selected if anon login was
successful, and greyed out + deselected if anon login wasn't possible.
