    I am using PuTTY and trying to login to an account that has a@ in the
    username ie the username is scott@sexton.com. When I run wget, I use
    the %40 instead of @ but PuTTY seems to be converting the % to %25 for
    me.

    Here's the results of my attempts. Any ideas?

    **************

    $ wget -r ftp://scott%40sexton.com:mypassword@ftp.sexton.com/web/*.*

    --20:31:18-- ftp://scott%2540sexton.com:*password*@ftp.sexton.com/web/
    *.*
      (try:20) => `ftp.sexton.com/web/.listing'
    Connecting to ftp.sexton.com[69.36.162.5]:21... connected.
    Logging in as scott%40sexton.com ...
    The server refuses login.

    **************

    I have tried
    $ wget -r ftp://scott@sexton.com:mypassword@ftp.sexton.com/web/*.*

    but obviously that isn't working either

    Thanks for any help that you can provide
