FTP automation with special characters in userid

Hi,
i am trying to automate an ftp script which is as below.But my user id has special characters(aaa\$ifg). So it is not working correctly.Can anyone help on this?I tried providing both of them in double & singe quoted. But somehow it is not picking the "\". Also tried keeping \ before the uid(aaa\\$ifg) and (aaa\\\$ifg).But no luck.

Code:
ftp -i -n ddd << end-of-session
binary
user aaa\$ifg password
put xyz.txt
bye
end-of-session
