PowerShell - FTP Upload Script No Longer Working
-
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.

@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
