Re: Password cannot contain certain characters

2015-01-05

@Noobcanon: It's not about what WinSCP accepts or not (it accepts any character), but rather about WinSCP and the server agreeing on the same encoding. It's better to stick to ASCII characters in the credentials (what a pound sign is not).

Password cannot contain certain characters

I had the same problem and I fixed it by taking out certain special characters in my password. For some reason it doesn't like the pound (£) symbol. Would be nice to know what is/isn't accepted by WinSCP.

WinSCP: Access Denied

2013-06-17 16:00

Hi,

I'm using WinSCP on virtual Windows XP trying to connect to a Ubuntu 12.04 host. I've had this working before but for some reason I am now receiving an access denied error.

I've made sure that I don't have any special characters in my password.

Please help.

Thanks.

The error message is "Access denied". Possibly you have some special characters in the password or username.

Please compare session log files for both scenarios.

If you won't find the difference, please attach the logs here.

But the same username and password is working in case if i use the Graphical User Interface.
