title: URL for my FTPs server to put as a REST method parameter
body: <p>A <em>REST API</em> has a method for reading from a <code>.csv</code> file that exists on a URL and claims that this URL can either be a public address or an FTP server.</p>
  
  <p>I have already succeeded at uploading the file to an FTPs server, but that is not my question here. What I want to know is that if my file is already uploaded to an FTPs server with the following properties</p>
  
  <pre><code>Host: 111.222.333.444
  Port: XX
  Username: myUserName
  Password: myPassword
  Working directory: /home/myFolder
  File name: myFile.csv
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>how will the URL look like?</p>
  
  <p>The URL that the API accepts is of course a string value. I have read <a href="https://www.siteground.com/kb/ftp_browser/" rel="nofollow">in this page</a> that if I write the value as </p>
  
  <pre><code>ftp://YourFtpUser%40YourDomain.com:YourFtpUserPassword@yourdomain.com
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It will work. But replacing my values in this address is not getting me anywhere. How will I know what format to use?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong> Log file using <a href="http://winscp.net/eng/download.php" rel="nofollow">WinSCP</a>. I replaced the real identity values.</p>
