Indy does not officially support BCB 4 anymore.

TIdFTP has UserName and Password properties for that.

TIdFTP has a Get() method and OnWork... events for that.

Note - in order to use the OnWork events for a progress bar, you have to 
retreive the file's size before downloading the actual file.  You can use 
TIdFTP::Size() or TIdFTP::List() for that.
