Re: special characters in FTP URL

Hello,

actually it seems the server is running Microsoft FTP Service (Version
5.0) under Windows 2000, but I really don´t have any detailed
information, I just want to get the logfiles.

However, by searching the archives of this list, I managed to solve
this problem by myself, the solutions is:

wget.exe --execute "login=user/name" --execute "passwd=password"
--passive-ftp --glob=on ftp://ip-address/*.zip

And it works !

Thanks anyway,

Adalbert
