Body
I have the following script to automate uploading a file to a remote server. The problem is that the password I have been given is full of special characters which are killing the login process. Here is a changed version of the characters: <blockquote> j7~]%&X </blockquote> When using a normal FTP application there isn't a problem. I have wrapped the password in quotes and have also tried using a <code>^</code> to escape the percentage and ampersand. However, it doesn't work. Also, I can't tell what the actual password is that is being sent. What could be going wrong or how do I reveal the password before it is sent? <pre><code>:Source = http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/how-to-automate-ftp-uploads-from-the-windows-command-line/ @echo off echo user myloginname> ftpcmd.dat echo mypassword>> ftpcmd.dat echo bin>> ftpcmd.dat echo put %1>> ftpcmd.dat echo quit>> ftpcmd.dat ftp -n -s:ftpcmd.dat myserver del ftpcmd.dat </code></pre> SOLUTION As mentioned below, I used the "type" command to see what was actually in the <code>ftpcmd.dat</code>. It turns out that, through a lot of trial an error and reading up on escape characters that you use different escape characters for different special characters!!! For an ampersand use a caret, and for the percentage use a percentage. So, given my password: j7~]%&X the resulting password would be: j7~]%%^&X

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
