How to log into FTP when there is a special character in the username?

I have login credentials for an FTP server that are in this form:

User: [email protected] Pass: alpha-numberic-password

When attempting to log in, it will not work because of the @ special character. I have tried the %40 trick and the %64 trick and neither worked.

I am trying with FileZilla and this is the only relevant info I found on their forums.

I can get it to work with CuteFTP 8 Home, but that is quite old and I would like to use a different client in the future.

Is there a general setting for this kind of thing that allows @ in the username? Is there a more expansive client that can utilize these credentials?


I realize that @ should not be in the username or password, but that is outside of my control, and people do still do it like this sometimes.
