Re: Non-anonymous FTP - Problems when Password contains '#'

To do this you have two options:

1. Dont embed the password in the URL. Then Squid will require proper
authentication before processing the request using the normal
authentication mechanism.

2. Escape the # as %23 (23 == hex code for #)

The first one is preferred by a number of reasons.
