GP_EPAY Process not parsing the URL identifier correctly

The PS Job - GPAUPYSL for payslip creation and transfer of the payslips to a file server via FTP.

This Job has 2 processes:
1. GPAUPY01 – This generates the payslip
2. GP_EPAY – This transfers the payslips. GP_EPAY calls another App engine Process - GP_SS_PSLP that actually transfers the file.

Traditionally, the URL identifier used to specify the FTP destination is configured as ftp://<>:<>@<>/<>

When moving to a new file server and it requires that the user name should also contain the Domain name, for eg; CROWN\hr92tst or hr92tst@CROWN.

When the URL is configured this way, the process fails due to the characters "\" or "@" in the user name.
