OK, I just read your preceding message, and now I understand what you
meant in this message. Yes, as you know, if you write a command in a
BAT file, your text is first processed by the BAT file processor, which
turns '%%23' into '%32' and then it's processed by wget to turn '%32'
into '#' in the command it sends to the FTP server.

The officially correct way is: if you need to represent a '%' in the
name of a file in a URL, you encode it as '%25' (because the ASCII code
for '%' is hex 25). I'm not surprised that other uses of '%' work, but
they're not officially supported and may not work consistently across
different tools.
