I am trying to use Amperson within the strPassword input (string) but I get an error, is there a way to force the block to use it or is it not compatible with it at all? I am using PLCnext version 2022.06.0

Can you tell us what error you are seeing?
Is it a problem with that function block, or with strings in general?

Hello Martin, thanks for replying. When using the correct password with the “&” character the resulting errors are:

I’m guessing that those two errors are returned from the FTP function block, and that the error codes have something to do with incorrect credentials.
I would like to suggest that you check with the author of the PLCnextBase library, using the “Contact” button on the app page in the PLCnext Store.

The error codes come up regardless of the credentials being correct or not because I’ve tried both cases, but I’ll try contacting the author as you suggested.
