How to access FTP for 9online.fr users

[ncagny]

Hello,
It looks at first sight not possible to access an FTP site from x2 for 9online.fr users (I use x2 1.0.0.94 and XP SP2). I checked using Command Line access ftp commands and it works fine though.

My FTP userid is : xxxxx@9online.fr, my pwd is : yyyyy.
So entering ftp://xxxxx@9online.fr:yyyyy@ftpperso.9online.fr in x2 ends with error : "The CPU cannot make any sense of the last input".

I tried a simple ftp://ftpperso.9online.fr in x2, was asked for an id and password, but then it opens my FTP folder as a separate IE window - even when using an x2 bookmark - and I wan't to stay in x2 - by the way a so wonderful product !

I guess that the trouble for x2 is that my FTP ID contains a @...
Any clue on a bypass is welcome ! Thank you.

Yes, you are right that the difficulty is that your user id includes a reserved character which is parsed as a special token in URL-speak-- The "@" character, 40[hex].
To get around this, use "%40" for "@"
as follows
ftp://xxxxx%409online.fr:yyyyy@ftpperso.9online.fr

PS, the "." may also be problematic, requiring %2E in its place:
ftp://xxxxx%409online%2Efr:yyyyy@ftpperso.9online.fr

Thanks a lot !
Everything's OK now with :
ftp://xxxxx%409online.fr:yyyyy@ftpperso.9online.fr/
Best regards.

glad to help

PS: - You can also go directly to a folder & subfolder without the need to navigate your way click-by-click, using:
ftp://xxxxx%409online.fr:yyyyy@ftpperso ... subfolder/
