      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?
