| The only mandatory part is ''host''. You should also always explicitly specify a protocol (''[[sftp]]'', ''[[ftp]]'' or ''[[scp]]'', the ''[[ftps]]'' protocol is FTP over TLS/SSL). ((Protocol is ''sftp'' by default, but the default can be changed.)) Most URL's will include also ''username''. The ''port'' needs to be specified only, when it differs from the default port for the protocol (22 for ''sftp''/''scp'', 21 for ''ftp'' and 990 for implicit ''ftps''). | The only mandatory part is ''host''.

| Special characters (like ''@'' in username, see example below) have to be encoded using ''%XX'' syntax, where ''XX'' is hexadecimal UTF-8 code.((For multi-byte codes, use ''%'' before every byte, for instance to represent pound-sign ''£'' use ''%C2%A3''.)) | Special characters (like ''@'' in username, see example below) have to be encoded using ''%XX'' syntax, where ''XX'' is hexadecimal UTF-8 code.((For multi-byte codes, use ''%'' before every byte, for instance to represent pound-sign ''£'' use ''%C2%A3''.)) | ||
