      @Pete-S it still gives login incorrect

      Then you probably made a mistake somewhere.
      Login works here with a username in the format [email protected]. Win7 client connecting to linux ftp server.
      So it's not the windows ftp client that is the problem.

        It could be that the server is requiring a SSL/TLS connection.

        Then it would connect over normal FTP but switch to encryption before sending username/password. But then all firewall rules and whatnot have to be set right and the client also has to support TLS for it to work.

        Is it a windows server you sending the file to? Then check what ftp server settings it has.

          I tried using this on a local FTP server that I control using known usernames and passwords....

          using user.name / MySecretPassword! works fine.

          using [email protected] / MySecretPassword! does not work at all -- with the ftp command line, nor the .Net.Webclient for me.

            The server is running ProFTPD. It is not running encryption, because I had to disable encryption in Filezilla in order to connect.

              This server is managed by our web development consultants, so I told them what I had tried and that I was now out of ideas on how to connect. Suggested maybe they can revert to the old syntax, sans @domain.com for the user name.

                It doesn't just affect ProFTPd... It also affects the FileZilla server as well.

                  Thanks for testing that out for me. I appreciate knowing that I am not crazy.

                    I assumed this was somehow related to how auth basic allows you to formulate your login as :
                    user:[email protected]
                    Therefore, the @ sign is being misinterpreted when it's being provided in a username.

                    With that in mind I went searching the interwebs and came across THIS confirming my suspicions.

                    Can you try replacing your @ sign with the + sign and let us know if it works? i.e.
                    wrx7m+gmail.com

                      Where I tried and it works fine was Win7pro built-in ftp client to Pure-FTPd server.

                      The [email protected] type names are VERY common on cpanel installations. I think it's referred to as long-form username.
                      So basically it's used by millions.

                        @Pete-S Yeah, I am not saying it isn't common. I find it very strange too.

                          Thanks for the suggestion. However, this doesn't work either. I also tried %40 (instead of @), which is what winscp comes up with in its generator.

                              After changing the user syntax back so it does not include @domain.com, it started working again.

                                Good that you got it working.

                                I wonder, was the ftp server you wanted to connect to IIS on Windows or was it something else?
