Re: special characters in password

Every time, there's something different in you posts.
This time you authenticate with encrypted private key. So WinSCP asks for its passphrase. That is not a password! Please read FAQ. If that does not help, come back.

Re: special characters in password

Hello,
as described both (saved session and script) are asking me for the password.

Here the last test with my saved session Posta using a batch file
prova1.bat (winscp.exe Posta /console /script=prova1.txt /log=prova1.log)
and prova1.txt is: 
option batch on
option confirm off
cd /ega-b-t
ls
close
exit
This is the prova1.log:

Re: special characters in password

In the script you have
open xxxxxx:mypasswd@host.name.ch

But in the log I can see
. 2008-10-13 16:52:59.746 Session name: mysession

So it does not look like it is log for the script.

Hi Martin,

if I use open "stored_session_name" it works but it ask me for the password.

PS: I forgot to tell you that via GUI it ask me for the password as well.
even if I've tried to tick the save password checkbox.

Thanks again

First you mention:

They are obviously not the same.
Anyway I do not think you need to encode ! and ;.


You're right it's not a problem of special characters.
I tried both syntax on the password field (first with !Pippo01; than with %21Pippo09%3b)
but I can't login.
My problem is that my password it's not accepted.
If I do the connection via GUI it works, but if I try via script (using the same user and password that I use via GUI) in the log I've got an "Access denied").
This is what I'm using:
winscp.exe /console /script=prova.txt /log=prova.log
and the script prova.txt is:
option batch on
option confirm off
open myuser:mypassword@myserver.com
close
exit

Please can you help me I've to fix the problem before the end of this month ?

Thanks a lot
Marco

special characters in password

:cry:
Hello,
I've got identification's problem via script.
Here what happens:
1. I've created my public and private keys
2. The public key is installed on the remote server
3. If I do a connection via GUI I'm able to start my connection (using my user and password)
4. I've created a simple script to start my connection
winscp.exe /console /script=example.txt /log=prova.log
this is my example.txt:
option batch on
open myuser:mypassword@server.com
close
5. My problem is the password that I use
(example:!Pippo01;)
6. in the docs section I found that I have to use the hexadecimal ASCII code but I don't understand how,
I'm trying in this way: open myuser:%21Pippo09%3b@server.com but it doesn't work.

Can you help me ?

Thanks
Marco
