Yeah, i did. The extra @ and period confuse it as well. I did get a response from an author of a port and here's a summary of the email. Turns out that was my problem. I was running it as a batch file Thanks for the assistance.

I tried wget in linux with the same style login (ftp://user%40mydomain%2Ecom:password@****) and it worked. So one problem is the windows port doesn't support special characters correctly... i cant seem to find a different port that will. Any suggestions?? I've found alternatives of wget for linux, unfortunately nothing really like it for win.

There's an app that I use on multiple computers and I write scripts for it. I'd like to have a central place (my website) where I can sync everything when the app starts. I believe wget should do the job nicely, but I'm looking for anything I can get that done easily from a command line. I dont have CuteFTP

First off, not sure which channel to post this in. Apologies if this one is incorrect. I'm trying to write a .bat file to update from my server using wget (a port to Windows). Normal login would be something like "ftp://user:pass@****/" but since the shared servers force the usernames to be "user@****" there becomes a problem and wget gets confused (i tried googling and only found one response suggesting using hex). well, I tried hex. something like, "ftp://user%40mydomain%2Ecom:password@****" While this works pasting in my webbrowser, not with wget. NOTE: I'm using a Win32 port of wget in WinXP (I hope it's not an error with the port because I'd feel really silly for asking here)
