      @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.

                                    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?
