This gets me past the resolve problem, but the FTP server doesn't seem to like the user called user%2Ename. Anyway, I found a way that works, using CURL: curl -P fxp0 \ ftp://user.name:password@server.mydomain.com/directory/file.ext > \ file.ext The key here was -P - without that, CURL also tried to use passive mode. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Abstain from wine, women and song; mostly song.
