Single quotes or two backslashes should work: $ wget -d 'ftp://foo\bar:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/README' ... Logging in as foo\bar ... 220 GNU FTP server ready. --> USER foo\bar ... Another way would be to URL-quote the backslash as %5C: $ wget -d 'ftp://foo%5Cbar:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/README' ... Logging in as foo\bar ... 220 GNU FTP server ready. --> USER foo\bar ... Which version of Wget are you using?
