ftp server problem

hi,

i have my update server hosted by godaddy.

first, when i used the syntax ftp://<username>:<password>:domainname.com/folder/%file%, it was throwing the error Not Logged In. I was able to fix that by using @domainname.com with the username.

now, it throws an error "it's either malformed or is an unknown protocol", any ideas? I searched the forum and there was this same issue but was "resolved" by updating wyupdate. Im using 2.6.18.4 which wyupdate says is the latest version.

i included the info that my server is hosted by godaddy because i have other "self-hosted" update servers running filezilla server and they do not have such issues.

thanks!

What's the URL? Make sure you URL encode any non-ascii characters.

ftp://user@domainname.com:password@domainname.com/folder/%file%

i read in another post that the second "@" should be converted to "%40", but there's another post by wyatt (or you) that the first "@" should be "%40", which one is correct?

The first @ should be %40 because @ is a special character that's used by FTP URLs to separate the user:pass from the actual target URL & path.

ftp://user%40domainname.com:password@domainname.com/folder/%file%
