It wasn't in the username after all. The host is using FTP over TLS, so I need to use ftps. That gives me a command line of curl -u u...@host.com:password ftps://hostname.com/path/file.mp3 which eventually times out with the error "curl: (7) Failed connect to hostname.com:990; Connection timed out" I then discovered that there are two modes of FTP over TLS. There is explicit using port 21 and implicit on port 990. After testing with Filezilla, I find that explicit works and implicit does not. Now I need a way to get curl to use port 21 instead of 990. Thanks for any ideas. Michael ___ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
Re: [PLUG] Using curl for file transfer
Is the GUI opensource? Could you modify the code to properly handle @ in the user name? This does not look like curl problem - in my experience curl command line accepts @ in --user without issues. I am sorry, I was hoping that there is curl command line involved somehow. -T On Tue, Feb 9, 2021, 22:41 Michael Barnes wrote: > On Tue, Feb 9, 2021 at 7:28 PM Tomas Kuchta > wrote: > > > On Tue, Feb 9, 2021, 15:41 Ken Stephens > > wrote: > > > > > Single quotes around the email addess? > > > > > > . > > > > > > I think that there may be more to the problem description. > > > > Curl is command line tool OP mentions box/window - that would suggest > some > > GUI contraption where escaping or quoting will not work as in shell. > > > > Perhaps, we need to see the problematic command line (with changed > > username/hostname of course). > > > > -T > > > > > > > > > The program is for radio station automation.

It has a number of gui modules for different things. One of these downloads audio files from program providers for later play on the air. The module uses the cURL Library for the file transfer portion. When you program each download, you put in the various information items of host, filename, username, password, download time, etc. Does that clarification help?

Curl is command line tool OP mentions box/window - that would suggest some GUI contraption where escaping or quoting will not work as in shell. Perhaps, we need to see the problematic command line (with changed username/hostname of course). -T > ___ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
