Chipp Walters wrote: I use the @ sign all the time when accessing ftp on Windows XP and Vista. I'm not sure what your problem is. I think the problem is that the '@' sign is used in a convention that allows the username and password to be folded into the ftp URL; ie ftp://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path In Ton's case, the username includes an @ sign. The code has to parse the string into those five parts (protocol, username, password, machine, path). If there are two '@' signs in the string, that's ambiguous. Arguably the surprise isn't that it throws things off on Windows; it's more surprising that it works on Mac. Certainly I think it's surprising that it's different on the two platforms, you'd think that this parsing would be in the libURL transcript code, rather than in some platform-specific engine code. But at any rate, the solution is to urlEncode the username and password when constructing such a URL (which will have the effect of replacing : with %3A, and @ with %40). - Ben ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I wonder if they've extended that to the OS level, perhaps overidable in a Control Panel or some such.

Re: Mac vs. Windows
Ton, You already posted this question. It would be useful if you quoted the previous message and kept the subject of the thread unchanged until the problem is solved. What kind of error do you get? Is the result empty, after issueing the command? What syntax have you tried to check for problems? -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Dutch forum: http://runrev.info/rrforum/ Benefit from our inexpensive hosting services.

Any ideas? Try using urlEncode() on the name and password parts. Ex: put urlEncode([EMAIL PROTECTED]) into tName put urlEncode(tkeyx33) into tPass put ftp://; tName : tPass ftp.company.com/ into gNewUrl But I'm not sure why your example would work on Mac and not Windows.

Re: Mac vs. Windows
First of all, thanks to all of you. The problem is now solved: instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] one should use (in Windows) ftp_celerlex%40celerlex.com No comment.

Hi Ton, Does it work if you use ftp_myFTP+myFTP.com or ftp_myFTP%myFTP.com instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Dutch forum: http://runrev.info/rrforum/ Benefit from our inexpensive hosting services.

Re: Mac vs Windows 2
Ho Tpn, I suspect you mean my suggestions and I suppose you refer to your FTP problem. It would be useful if you quoted the previous message and kept the subject of the thread unchanged until the problem is solved. What kind of error do you get? Is the result empty, after issueing the command?
