Thank you for the FTPS tip. I never saw that as an option anywhere. I
haven't dealt with FTP over TLS before, and there is no reference to it
in the OpsGuide.
As far as the @ is concerned, I was just getting a "failed to connect"
error. I tried the username\@hostname escape, but RDCatch did not accept
it in the username. I'll try the url-encoding tip and see what happens.
I'll have to research the cURL library.
Thanks for the suggestions.

FTPS (FTP over TLS, as opposed to SFTP, Secure Shell FTP) is supported
starting with Rivendell 3.5.0. SFTP has been supported for a long time,
FTPS support is new.
The URL should look like: ftps://host.name/path-maybe-with-wildcards
In what way does the "@" foul things up? I wonder if escaping it with
"\" (as in (username\@hostname) or "url-encoding" the at-sign (as in
username%40hostname). If you try the latter, you might need to use two
"%" symbols otherwise RDCatch may think you are trying to use a "percent
wildcard"; I kind of doubt this, but I do not know if RDCatch looks for
percent wildcards in the username field.
In any event, Rivendell (RDCatch) uses the cURL library to perform the
actual download. That library may impose other constraints on the username.
Hope this helps, good luck!

We have a program provider who has changed his ftp server and I have
run into two issues.
First, he specifies he is using FTP over TLS. I'm not sure how to set
this up in RDCatch.
The other problem is he is using an email address for a username. I know
this is common for users accessing websites, but the first I have seen
it for FTP access. Naturally the @ in the username fouls things up. How
can I properly utilize the @ in a username in RDCatch?
Thanks.
