[gentoo-user] {OT} wput with weird characters
I need to periodically upload a file to an ftp server, but the password they've issued me has a '!' and a '' character in it. I tried escaping those characters like this: wput -A file.txt ftp://username:abc\!123\@ftp.example.com/file.txt but then it tells me the password isn't correct. How can I use a password like that with wput? - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

How can I use a password like that with wput? Are you sure the password is correct, does it work with an interactive ftp program? I just tried that, and it worked, with exactly the same password you used. Alex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
