I guess I did remember the syntax and leads to a second question. Is
there an escape sequence that allows you to use a password that
contains an "@"?

The password in this instance is the e-mail address that one used to
registered when one open an account. Personally, I would have used
FTP and be done with it. The user was insistent on using a web
browser and the ftp method.

I have Squid-2.5STABLE6 installed. The additional "@" appears to
confuse Squid although its hard to tell what failed from the logs.
