        WinSCP doesn't like user@domain.com syntax for the username either. WTF

          What version of Windows does this run on?

          When i try to run it (Windows 10), it crashes on the $uri line.

            Server 2012 R2 (is where the FTP client/script is running)

              because it is smarter and has credential variables to be supplied.

                @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
                  user@domain.com
                  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 xxx@domain.com. 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 user@domain.com / 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:pass@server.com
                                      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 user@domain.com 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.
