Drivewire uses the Apache Commons VFS library for it's file I/O, so the
documentation for the library should be accurate as to what works in
Drivewire.

Authentication is usually possible via somewhat normal syntax, for instance
FTP:

https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-vfs/filesystems.html#FTP

If I recall correctly, I bastardized the syntax a little bit so that it
avoided characters OS/9 wasn't super happy dealing with, but I think most
of the protocols and syntax listed on that page should work.
