Chapter 4 - Syntax Summary URL Encoding

URL Encoding

The URL does not need to be completely ‘URL-encoded’. You only need to use escape characters for tokens specifically used in an FTP URL, as shown in the following table. Any FTP URL that contains spaces must be enclosed in quotes; for example:

-URL “FTP://Home Machine/FTP Files”

Tokens	Replaced with
% (percent)	%25
@ (at)	%40
/ (forward slash)	%2F
: (colon)	%3A
; (semicolon)	%3B
& (ampersand)	Escape not needed, use as is
# (pound)	Escape not needed, use as is
8-bit or control characters	Escape not needed, use as is
