Passwords that contain $ character are not valid

Current Situation

On the following conditions, an error occurs when login to s SFTP or FTPS server

• The password is specified in the job configuration
• or the password is specified in the order configuration
• the password contains the $ character
• the $ character is not masked with \

Desired Behaviour

Passwords should be valid even when containing a $ character

Workaround

You can mask the $ character with \$

Note

See documentation here

This works as designed as JobScheduler substitutes $x to nothing if x is not a known environment variable. The recommended way to configure YADE transfers is to specify YADE xml configuration file with the settings parameter and assign a profile with the profile parameter. In this case the user password can contain $ character.
