So it seems that to login to AOL's FTP I'd need to do something like this:

  ftp://anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@members.aol.com

But of course with two "@"s that won't work.  :(

How do I apply AOL's recommendation to libURL's login/password urls?
Those are the values I plug into Fetch and they work, but I've never tried creating a single string for use with MC. Did you try it? What would happen if you substituted the whatcha-callem codes for the first "at" sign (my brain just shorted out; what do you call those html codes that start with "#" or "%"?)

One thing to be aware of though -- I haven't tried logging into AOL via ftp recently, but in the past it was always necessary for me to be logged in via their proprietary software before I was able to access my account via Fetch. I had to have an active AOL session going before I could get in. This may not be true if you have set up a public download folder though; I never tried that.
