on ospc209 the user pds has a password of "/sonde" for sftp. Metpx handles this just fine. However. in searracenia I get
sarra@wto-dsr:~/.config/sarra/sender$ sr_sender ospc209.conf foreground
2017-04-24 14:55:34,353 [ERROR] bad credential 1 (sftp://pds:/sonde@ospc209.to.on.ec.gc.ca/
)
2017-04-24 14:55:34,354 [ERROR] bad credential sftp://pds@ospc209.to.on.ec.gc.ca/
2017-04-24 14:55:34,355 [ERROR] could not understand destination (sftp://pds@ospc209.to.on.ec.gc.ca/)
For a password, on can apply URL encoding. for this case: I think it would be: %2fsonde
Better solution: use keys.
I went with keys. However the above suggestion works as well.
