@ in download site login

I am wanting to host my updates on an FTP site that required me to login using a username@domain. So my download site string looks like:

ftp://updatelogin@mydomain.net:<password>@mydomain.net/%file%

It appears that having two @ characters messes up the parsing of this site in wyBuild. I do not have the option due to security policy on the FTP server to NOT use updatelogin@mydomain.net. So the question is how can I make wyBuild work with this login?

The problem is that you're not urlencoding the "special characters" (like the @ symbol). We've covered this a few times on our forums: https://wyday.com/forum/t/1797/ftp-as-download-site/#post-9401

Let me know if that helps.

That makes total sense. I didn't consider doing that. I would suggest in the download sites help you give an example of this or point to the forum entry at least.

Thanks

We've updated our walkthrough and download sites articles to explicitly mention "special characters": http://wyday.com/wybuild/help/mirrors.php#protocols
