@ on command line is always interpreted as user @ server.

You need to use a config file, say someserver.cfg with content like this:
# get
#-g
# or put
-p
localdir=/home/jdoe/homepage
ftpserver=www.foo.bar
ftpdir=/www.foo.bar
address@hidden
address@hidden
# other options as printed out by ftpsync.pl -h

To use this cfg file, and i.e. be verbose too, call ftpsync like this:
ftpsync cfg=someserver.cfg -v


Are you aware of the major bug (introduced by someone else than me) in
the 1.3.07 release?
