I often find humans with similar problems are quicker than Google. :) I did just spend 10 minutes googling for keywords like "ncftp", "password", "bug", "ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED] -wget" (lest you get 100 tutorials on how to use 'wget' with FTP urls :) ), etc. No luck so far. :^( > 5. ncftp> debug1 > ncftp> open (whatever) I tried that, and didn't get much useful debuggng info. :^) $ ncftp ncftp> debug ncftp> open ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [server details] [welcome message] 220: ftp.server.com NcFTPd Server (free personal license) ready.

Someone, somewhere, is using "%" as an escape character! Based on the debug attempt above (where I was doing the "open" command within NcFTP client, and not on the command-line in the Bash shell), it looks like NcFTP itself is doing this. I'll have to see if I can get around those "%" characters by escaping them myself, somehow. Thanks! :) :) Good ol' strace. :) > 7. ltrace -o LOG ncftpget -R ftp://USER:"PASSWORD"@ftp.server.com > > and if you can't resolve it in a few days, use reportbug. :) -bash: reportbug: command not found ;^) -bill! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Got kids?
