How to use 'put URL "ftp://..." if username contains @

[Jim Ault]

When using a server/host that handles multiple domains, many systems  
require the [user's account name @ the domain ]   in order to validate  
the login, thus

    donaldduck at domainDisneyLand.com:MickeyMouse at domainDisneyLand.com

     donaldduck at domainDisneyWorld.com:MickeyMouse at domainDisneyWorld.com


The server should be able to parse this correctly.  It is expecting  
this format as a possibility.  This works fine on my hosted sites.
I wouldtry Andre's URL encode %40
