[h-e-w] ftp using usernames with imbedded @ sign

[Michael R . Wolf]

I'm working with a braindead ISP that requires ftp usernames to have
an @ sign in it.

Using ftp, I can get in this way:

    ftp
    > open ftp.metajiva.com
    > user address@hidden

Or using mozilla, I can get in this way

    ftp://address@hidden@metajiva.com:

IE cannot figure it out.

Yeah!!! Stupid username syntax. They guy on the tech support hotline
actually tried to defend this naming convention.

Unfortunately, it breaks ange-ftp. Damn!!! Stupid ass ISP. They broke
my dired-like ftp interface.

Anyone know how to have ange-ftp get around this arcane username
issue?
