    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-340?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13900829#comment-13900829 ] 

Jon Storch commented on VFS-340:
--------------------------------

Hello all. I know this issues hasn't been touched in a while but I found a solution to the special characters like '@' in password issue. 
Try UrlEncoding the username or password with the special characters. The exception is a parseUri exception.
Created a test user on my server with a pw of "Test!@#$%^&*()[]:; "
Encoded it and it worked like butter.
