      @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?
