Using IE for FTP

[Fred Bulger]

Hi folks!

When using Internet Explorer as an FTP client, there is a problem when
the password contains the '@' character. Presumably because this is used in
the URL to separate the authentication portion from the machine address.
(e.g. ftp://username[email protected] )

Is there a way to have compose the URL so that you can use the @ as part of
a password? Perhaps an escape sequence?

Thanks!

-Fred.

Fred,
Probably caused by the recent Security Update
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-004 (832894):
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-004.asp
Try it from Start> Run ftp://username[email protected]
Or try the registry edits in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=834489
