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

[Tom A Baker]

Shot in the dark, but try replacing the first at sign with a percent sign, then 
try the second or both.

That -used- to be a convention, and maybe they will honor it.

I remember the addresses with two at signs in an old network system ... best of 
luck.

   Might you consider finding another ISP? That would be the ultimate
   way of voicing your complaint :)
