I pass to explain this for everyone :-)

If you want to escape a symbol who can have problems with URL or FTP like
"%" or "@" you have to do this:

Imagine that your password is "grand_at_ma" or "grand%ma" with this you gonna
have problems (like me)

You have to put two symbols in order to escape it "grand@@ma" or
"grand%%ma".

My command don't work 'cause I left some instructions about passive mode.
That's all :-)

Thanks everyone.

Asunto: Problems with the % symbol

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here, i'm new working with curl, and I'm fighting with
a little problem, maybe someone can help with this.

I'm using this command line for upload a file into my ftp server:

curl -T "testfile.txt" ftp://myusername:pass%word@211.11.11.11/

If you see in my password I have a "%" symbol, and when I run Curl, it seems
not to read the "%" and it seems to read "password" not "pass%word".

I have tried using double "%%" and it appears correct on screen but the ftp
server returns a 503 error.

Any idea?

Thanks for your time.

Jordi.
