Bug #78708 [Opn->Fbk]: ftp_login doesn't work with colon (:) in password

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78708&edit=1 ID: 78708 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: julien dot chavee at gmail dot com Summary: ftp_login doesn't work with colon (:) in password -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: FTP related Operating System: CentOS PHP Version: 7.3.10 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: After having a closer look, I fail to see why that would fail (unless the username/password combination is invalid). ftp_login() just sends the following commands USER [USERNAME] PASS abc:def What would happen if you send these commands via ftp_raw() or via telnet? Also, can you please inspect the network traffic to see whether the colon gets mangled somehow? And which FTP server do you use?
