Subject: [gentoo-user] {OT} wput with weird characters
Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2007 11:50:43 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49bf44f10708311150p40e00aa8ta90e235c0bf6fb40@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I need to periodically upload a file to an ftp server, but the
password they've issued me has a '!' and a '&' character in it.  I
tried escaping those characters like this:

wput -A file.txt ftp://username:abc\!123\&@ftp.example.com/file.txt

but then it tells me the password isn't correct.  How can I use a
password like that with wput?
