I found a response to another bug report that suggested using escape character before the semicolon. It worked for me too!!
wget -m -nH --cut-dirs=5 ftp://myuserid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]://usr/local/tpfps/cc/gds/devl/a/\;type=a

I want to use wget to transfer files from an IBM mainframe FTP server which stores files in EBCDIC to Linux on our S390X machine.
Even though I use the type=a option, the files are transferred in Binary (EBCDIC). The .listing files are OK in ASCII.
