> Hi

I had the same problem a few weeks ago and found the answer in the list
somewhere..

Use  urlencode

ex.

put "ftp://"& urlEncode(tUsername) &":"& tPass &"@" & tadd &  tpath   into
ftpPath
 put url ("binfile:" &  SrcFilename) into tData
   libUrlFtpUpload tData, ftpPath


Works for me. hope it does for you....

Ian
