Try using just the 123456 of the username... Probably won't work, but worth a shot. Or do this: $FTPuserURL = urlencode($FTPuser); before you compose the $address, and use $FTPuserURL instead of $FTPuser. That will replace the @ with %40 which will almost for sure be the kosher way have @ in an FTP username in a URL. Technically, you could/should also urlencode() the password and FilePath and FileName, I think. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
