[ale] problem with ftp

[Irv]

Hi:

Mindspring is changing its ftp servers over to earthlink addresses, 
and now Konqueror, Kwrite, etc. which work fine otherwise 
refuse to authenticate to the new server. Good ole ftp works ok, which 
verifies that I'm using the right ftp.addr, user name, and passwd.

Could this have anything to do with the fact that they changed 
their user id's from, for example: "user1234 at yourwebsite.com"" to
"user1234%yourwebsite.com" ?  (I'm wondering if the percent mark 
may cause problems with the xWindows programs, but has no affect on 
text mode proggies? Or am I looking in the wrong place?)

Thanks for any insight.
Irv
