Why WinSCP cannot accept special characters (@ or %) in password from command-line?

It can.

See command-line options. WinSCP treats session-specification on command-line as an URL. Hence any character that has special meaning in URL must be URL-encoded. This means it must be entered in format %XX, where XX is hexadecimal ASCII code. Some common examples:

  • space: %20 or +
  • %: %25 (percent sign)
  • +: %2B (plus sign)
  • /: %2F (slash)
  • @: %40 (at sign)
