ftp can't connect if username contain @

[felix]

Accessing remote ftp using a username with "@" inside do not works on BC4. (it works on BC3)

NOTE: username with @ (like: ftp://myuser@[email protected]) is a standard in CPANEL when you create ftp sub-accounts.

Escape the @ as "%40" like "myuser%[email protected]" and it should work. Our URI parser has gotten a bit more strict in BC4, and that is a change from BC3. If you set up an FTP profile or use the browse dialog it should do the escaping automatically.

hi,
first of all a correction of my first post:
the sub-account url standard of my CPANEL is
ftp://[email protected]@somedomain.ext
(.ext is also in the username)

the suggested solution still doens't work with this output:

19/12/13 17:57:28  Recv> 331 User [email protected] OK. Password required
19/12/13 17:57:28  Sent> PASS ********
19/12/13 17:57:34  Recv> 530 Login authentication failed
19/12/13 17:57:34  Sent> QUIT
19/12/13 17:57:35  Stat> Disconnected.

I've tested the password and It's ok, it works from BC3 (with winebottler)

Hello Felix,

Was this configured by going to the Profiles dialog and creating a new profile, filling in
Host: somedomain.ext@somedomain
User: someuser.exe@somedomain
Pass: password@pass

Or are you typing directly into the path?
