I had a quick look at the man page and it says that parentheses can be |
| 30 |
used to group commands, so maybe lftp is misinterpreting the ( in this |
| 31 |
way. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
However, the man page also advises against giving the password on the |
| 34 |
command line (because it is then available to anyone with normal user |
| 35 |
shell access while the command is running) and suggests using either |
| 36 |
~/.netrc, which you have already said works, or $LFTP_PASSWORD along |
| 37 |
with --env-password. Have you tried this? |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
LFTP_PASSWORD='pass(word' lftp --env-password -u user ftp://example.com |

Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice?" |
