Subject: Re: [vfs] - Ftp URL parsing is failing when there is an @ in the
	userName
From: Mark Fortner <phidias51@gmail.com>

Correct. =A0The username should not have an @ in it. =A0I believe this is
the standard URI scheme. =A0http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_scheme

Delving a little further, according to the FTP URI scheme
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1738 (section 3.1) it says that "The
user name (and password), if present, are followed by a commercial
at-sign "@". Within the user and password field, any ":","@", or "/"
must be encoded."

So there are two possibilities here:

Either drop the "@whatever.com" from your username (which shouldn't be
necessary anyway since the username refers to an account on the ftp
server), or

Encode the @ sign in the username (which I believe is a %40).

Hope this helps,

Mark
