Hello everybody,

I wonder if somebody can help me:
I want to download a file with curl per ftp using:

curl "ftp://user:password@host/directory/filename"

the problem is, that the password is: abc/def*ghi

yes, there is really a "/" and a "*" in the password.
When I try to use:

curl "ftp://user:abc/def*ghi@host/file.txt"

I get

curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'user:abc'

but if I use

curl "ftp://user:abc\/def*ghi@host/file.txt"

the command hangs.

any ideas?

thanks
michi
