Escape @ in wget for FTP login

Question

i need to download all files from an FTP address using wget. I'm currently using this code:

wget -m ftp://user:[email protected]

However, my username for accessing FTP is something like user@domain, so i would get

wget -m ftp://user@domain:[email protected]

The command fails because of the @ in the username field. How can i escape the @? I wasn't able to find any answer on Google.

Answer 1

Solution was to use

wget -m --user "user@domain" --password "password" ftp://ip.of.old.host

As fedorqui suggested but adding ftp:// before ip.of.old.host.

Thanks!
