Issue On Unix when FTP Password has special characters

Asked by smaram1 in Unix Systems Programming, Unix Operating Systems, Operating Systems Development

I am having issues in connecting to a FTP server when the FTP Password has special characters.

I tried to escape characters  using "", '', / characters.

Most of the characters in password are special characters.

It would be great if someone can let me know how to skip characters and get this password working.

Please find the attached code.

Thanks
