You mean the last '@' before the file part? So an URL
 ftp://ftp:passwd-with-@-in-it@host.foo/file-with-@-in-it

would work.

Man, this is getting complicated doing in C. I think I once
suggested using liburi or a generated scanner for this. I have
some half-finished url-parser done with GNU flex if you'd care
to look at it.
