      @JaredBusch So it looks like I will have to use url-encoding. However, I can't get this to work either.

        @wrx7m Why don't you just use the (built-in) ftp client in windows?

        ftp -s:filename_with_ftp_commands

        Run whatever commands you need for instance:

        open 10.43.0.0
        [email protected]
        user_password
        put D:\Data\BAUPC.CSV /BAUPC.CSV
        bye
        

        Do it manually first so you know it works then just put the commands in the file.

        PS. Here is a list of the command in the built-in windows ftp client. https://www.nsftools.com/tips/MSFTP.htm

          @Pete-S I used to have that setup, but there was something that happened where it got deprecated or something like that. can't remember now. It was a couple of years ago. I will try it again.

              Then you probably made a mistake somewhere.
              Login works here with a username in the format [email protected]. Win7 client connecting to linux ftp server.
              So it's not the windows ftp client that is the problem.

                It could be that the server is requiring a SSL/TLS connection.

                Then it would connect over normal FTP but switch to encryption before sending username/password. But then all firewall rules and whatnot have to be set right and the client also has to support TLS for it to work.

                Is it a windows server you sending the file to? Then check what ftp server settings it has.

                  I tried using this on a local FTP server that I control using known usernames and passwords....

                  using user.name / MySecretPassword! works fine.

                  using [email protected] / MySecretPassword! does not work at all -- with the ftp command line, nor the .Net.Webclient for me.

                    The server is running ProFTPD. It is not running encryption, because I had to disable encryption in Filezilla in order to connect.

                      This server is managed by our web development consultants, so I told them what I had tried and that I was now out of ideas on how to connect. Suggested maybe they can revert to the old syntax, sans @domain.com for the user name.

                        It doesn't just affect ProFTPd... It also affects the FileZilla server as well.

                          Thanks for testing that out for me. I appreciate knowing that I am not crazy.

                            I assumed this was somehow related to how auth basic allows you to formulate your login as :
                            user:[email protected]
                            Therefore, the @ sign is being misinterpreted when it's being provided in a username.

                            With that in mind I went searching the interwebs and came across THIS confirming my suspicions.

                            Can you try replacing your @ sign with the + sign and let us know if it works? i.e.
                            wrx7m+gmail.com

                              Where I tried and it works fine was Win7pro built-in ftp client to Pure-FTPd server.

                              The [email protected] type names are VERY common on cpanel installations. I think it's referred to as long-form username.
                              So basically it's used by millions.

                                @Pete-S Yeah, I am not saying it isn't common. I find it very strange too.

                                  Thanks for the suggestion. However, this doesn't work either. I also tried %40 (instead of @), which is what winscp comes up with in its generator.

                                      After changing the user syntax back so it does not include @domain.com, it started working again.

                                        Good that you got it working.

                                        I wonder, was the ftp server you wanted to connect to IIS on Windows or was it something else?
