Problems with dollar sign in passwords

[Ilya Sabanin]

For some reason lftp doesn't like dollar sign in user passwords, even if 
embraced in single quotes. I also tried to prepend the sign with backslash but 
it didn't help.

Two examples, both worked OK in third-party FTP client. That one will work just 
fine:

open -u 'test','one$' -p 21 ftp://10.0.1.3;

that one will always fail:

open -u 'test','one$b' -p 21 ftp://10.0.1.3;

So it looks like the dollar is only causing troubles when followed by a letter. 
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ilya Sabanin.
