Having trouble downloading a file through FTP. (wget, curl, aria2c)

Question

I am having trouble downloading a file through FTP (ftp://ftp.pride.ebi.ac.uk/pride/data/archive/2017/11/PXD007635), this FTP site doesn't require any credential and I can download it directly by clicking it in my web browser. But when I tried to download it directly to my cluster, it doesn't work.

I tried wget:

wget ftp://ftp.pride.ebi.ac.uk/pride/data/archive/2017/11/PXD007635/OvCa100_classII_Rep#1.raw

And get this error:

--2020-08-01 18:35:22--  ftp://ftp.pride.ebi.ac.uk/pride/data/archive/2017/11/PXD007635/OvCa100_classII_Rep

Then I tried curl

curl -O ftp://ftp.pride.ebi.ac.uk/pride/data/archive/2017/11/PXD007635/OvCa100_classII_Rep#1.raw

And get this error:

550 Failed to open file.

Finally I tried aria2c

aria2c ftp://ftp.pride.ebi.ac.uk/pride/data/archive/2017/11/PXD007635/OvCa100_classII_Rep#1.raw

And get this error:

08/01 18:38:03 [ERROR] CUID#7 - Download aborted. URI=ftp://ftp.pride.ebi.ac.uk/pride/data/archive/2017/11/PXD007635/OvCa100_classII_Rep#1.raw

I am quite sure my cluster proxy setting is correct and based on aria2c error info, it seems like the resource site is down, but it works by just clicking and downloading in web browser. Would anyone give me any hint about that? Much appreciated!

You just need to simply replace "#" with "%23".
