pkg/sftp fails connecting (special char in user/pass)

[Pontus Lundin]

Hi!

Having successfully connected to many sftp servers before now having problem with one a using password auth.

ssh -vv yields
debug1: Next authentication method: password
password:

The user and password contains a $ character, i have tried encode it '%24' and in plain text. If having plain string the result is:

failed to send packet header: EOF

if using escaped character the result is:

Failed to dial: ssh: handshake failed: ssh: unable to authenticate, attempted methods [none password], no supported methods remain
exit status 1

Using ssh works, however ends with

PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
Terminal access is disabled for this site
Connection to xxxxxx closed

if that is something.

Any ideas on this one ?
Thanks!

my advice: Don't use dollar signs. That's tempting fate, like using a quote or newline character.

I suspect one of the values is being used in a shell context and being expanded.

Why are they being used in the first place?

Hi! Thanks. I agree, that was my thinking as well..i just got it from the server/sftp provider. I dont think they are meant and used for anything special.. it just feels wired to be honest :/

Will try to change that to start with.

Now solved, was my misstake with walking some fs path that produced the unexpected error. Just walking and creating files at ~ solved it.

Sorry sorry. The sftp package is solid and great!
