        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?
