I'm noticing an apparent bug in NcFTP (3.1.3; Mar 27, 2002) This works:
$ ftp ftp.server.com Name: USERNAME 331 User USERNAME okay, need password. Password: PASSWORD 230 Logged in And this works: $ ncftp ftp://USERNAME:@ftp.server.com Logging in... Password requested by ftp.server.com for user "USERNAME". User USERNASME okay, need password. Password: PASSWORD Logged in. However, in SOME cases, the following does NOT work: $ ncftp ftp://USERNAME:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Logging in... Could not open host ftp.server.com: username and/or password was not accepted Whatintheheck!? This works for most of the other accounts I've tried (I'm writing a script to pull stuff off of various FTP accounts, en masse; specifically, my variation is: "ncftpget -R ftp://USER:[EMAIL PROTECTED]") The shell is GNU bash 2.05b.0(1) The FTP server is NcFTPd (can't tell which version). Many of the passwords in question include "?", "!", "=" and/or "+" characters. However, this doesn't seem to be an issue, since I don't see any pattern where these characters DON'T work, versus when they DO. I'm quoting them in the shell, too: ncftpget -R ftp://USER:"PASSWORD"@ftp.server.com *boggle* Besides changing the passwords to something that ncftpget CAN send properly, is there anything else I can look into!?
