FTP Command line with '@' in the password?

6.7.1 on WIN2K

Our vendor has an "@" symbol in their password. How can I make an FTp call to them using the FTP adapter with this is in their password?

You can't. Request they change it to &.

Funny. I didn't even think to ask them. I'll see what they say. Thanks!

Have you tried using %40 in the password instead of the @ symbol?

Olly.

OllyC - no I haven't, but I've heard of that. Will that work? Can you explain? Thanks!

page 18 of the manual (FTP user guide - 1056.pdf) ;-) gives details of how to include characters like %, @, ; etc. in the command line by releasing them.

it works fine for us - but as the release characters (%25, %40 etc.) contain % you may have to be careful if you are using the Resource Registry. The Resouce Registry will replace anything between two % so you may have to replace the release characters too - let me know if I've confused you this!

Cheers,
Olly.
