VFS - sftp password question

[Paul DeCoursey <pa...@decoursey.net>]

I'm trying to connect to a SFTP server with VFS but I cannot get it to work
because the password has an @ in it, actually a few of them. I have found that
it fails if the password has any odd characters in it. Is there an alternative
way to specify the password for an SFTP connection?

I am currently trying
FileSystemManager.resolveFile("sftp://user:pass@server/file");
 so clearly I cannot have an @ or : or / in the password. I've tried using %40
but it fails just saying it cannot connect.

Nevermind... %40 is working, the issue isn't the passowrd I am finding out..
It's that the server only supports scp and not sftp.
