Passwords are not escaped

tabernarious opened this issue · 3 comments

Passwords with special characters may cause tcl or bash errors; a backslash must be entered by the user in front of each special character for proper escaping.

Not all special characters cause issues. Adding "" to escape "@" and "!" will actually break the password. I'll have to do some deeper testing.

It has come to my attention that some special characters do not need to be escaped. More testing will need to be done. For now I am clarifying the help section for iApp v3.1.2 to suggest escaping may be required.

This is fixed for SMB/CIFS and FTP in v3.1.7
