Some other people also report similar problems with a dollar sign, but they recommend to use double dollar-sign "$$" instead.

The ampersand "&" character has a special meaning in the Windows command prompt and should be escaped by using "^&" or quotation marks. In the documentation on Security of Credentials they say that the password is sent over the command line "-pw" argument. It seems like the WinSCP uses the same code as puTTY for the SSH with some extra patches. Now, when I connect to server by SFTP from Network Neighborhood, that get SFTP error: If you know, at what a problem, please replay. Same problem occur at WinSCP (SFTP Client) and our work server tools, which hook diff perl, python and unix tcsh scripts.īut I didn't detect this problem at Putty-client, this one work normally and connect to server with same password (with & to end). When I had password without amp, SFTP-plugin worked correctly and connected to the server. I can't check this, because can't change password at server very often - It's not my Security Policy. I know only this situation, may be problem is saved, if & set on another position at password. I can't authorize on server, if I have symbol &(ampersand) at the end of my password, for example (hfW4aG3&).
