how to mask @ in ftp username?

[Jones Down <jones down gmx net>]

Hi,

how  can  I  mask  a  "@"  sign  in a username? I want to connect to a
ftpserver  that has some special user-authentication setup and we need
to  give  our  domain in the username, so it would look like this with
mc:

cd /#ftp:username example tld:password example tld

mc does not find the host...

any solutions or is this a bug?


Thanks!

have a nice day,
Jones
