Problem

I am trying to access a password-protected ftp site. I have user "foo" pass "pass#1" When I enter them directly, it works. I am now trying to craft a single URL that contains the user/pass within (e.g. ), but it doens't work. I tried URLEncoding the # and failed. How do I properly encode the # sign?

Error Output

ftp://foo:pass%231@ftp.arsecommerce.com/
