How can I access the ftp server with username which contains slash character?

Question

How can I access the ftp server with username which contains slash character?

I know how to use terminal to access to ftp server from terminal (Mac) as follow:

ftp username:password@server

but my username is quite special. It contains the slash character "/" such as:

ABC/XYZ

I tried to use quotes in this case, but it does not work:

ftp "ABC/XYZ":password@server

Could you help?

Answer 1

You can try to escape the / with \ like

ftp ABC\/XZY:password@server
