FYI, it wasn't shell that was doing it.  Firstly, quoting would've
gotten around that, but didn't.

Secondly, running ncftp in interactive mode, and using the "open"
command with the same URL I was giving on the command-line, caused the
same problem.

In the end, it was "%", and chars following it, were being considered an
escape sequence.

Actually ESCAPING it (much like you write "&" to get an "&" in HTML)
made it work:

  mypasshasa%sign

becomes:

  mypasshasa%25sign
