PowerShell - FTP Upload Script No Longer Working
-
@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.

@Pete-S it still gives login incorrect

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.

So it's not the windows ftp client that is the problem.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.

wrx7m+gmail.comThanks 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.

@wrx7m : Darn. Sorry
-
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?
-
@Pete-S It was on linux - ProFTPD
