Hi,
The way to include a special character (like a @, :, /, or even a space) in a URL is to %-encode it, i.e. to replace it with %XX, where XX is the character's hexadecimal ASCII value. The hex ASCII value of the @ character is 40, so you'd replace the @ in your password with %40.
Let me know if that doesn't work.
Thanks,
Jim Matthews

When scripting Fetch I usually build the login and password into the script path. For instance:
ftp://Administrator:password@192.168.0.1/"
However, I recently encountered a website where the password INCLUDES an @. How do I code for it?
Thanks
Brad
