Use of special characters in .netrc file
Let me start by saying thanks in advance for any help and yes, I must do this via ftp.
OK, I can log into the ftp server manually, but login fails when called using the .netrc file which leads me to believe that it may have a problem parsing special characters. I do not have control over the server being logged into and have been told that the password must can not be changed (must contain a special character). My file looks something like this:
machine xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
login Domain1\user1
password A-Password1
macdef init
ascii
cd /some/directory
get somefile.txt
quit
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
