And how would you want to identify the file part ?

Don't forget something like

ftp://ftp:passwd-with-@./-in-it@host.foo/file-with-@-in-it

I think you have opened a can of worms...

It seems the only way to handle this is
to remove user ID and pass phrase from the URI.
With user ID and pass phrase given seperately:

curl -v -u user:passwd-with-_at_./-in-it fttp://host.fo/file-with-_at_-in-it

Bye
