i believe i found the problem. in powershell you have to escape the '$' with a backtick. if you don't powershell looks at it as a variable within the double qoutes. hope this helps some one else in the future.

@prikryl, thanks for the reply. when i use the winscp gui i connect just fine, no problems at all. there is a '$' in the password. i am using the latest 5.5.1 (build 3970).

after looking through the forums i have tried the following in powershell without success:

orignal password is: blah$blah 

password = "blah" + "%24" + "blah"

password = "blah" + %24 + "blah"

$a = 24; password = "blah" + $a + "blah"

$a = "{0:x}" -f 36; password = "blah" + $a + "blah"


nothing seems to work for me, any ideas on how to pass the '$' character as UTF-8 hex in powershell or how to make the pass actually work.

Re: Password Failed...

Are you able to connect using the password from WinSCP GUI? Is there some special character in your password? What version of WinSCP are you using? Have you tried 5.5.1?
