I've had the exact same issue, it's your comment that diagnosed the issue for me. I tested with raw() ls() and put() looks like every param values must be getting escaped...

Same for me too: password with escaped characters make my system impossible to connect. In my case, the password have this characters : $);] (I don't know which one is the "bad one") Thank to post in this issue, and I solved it by changing the escape parameter to false:
const ftps = new FTPS({
host: xxxx,
port: xxxx,
username: xxxx,
password: xxxx, //(contain $);]
protocol: xxxx,
**escape: false, //it was _true_ by default**
retries: 3,
timeout: 20,
autoConfirm: true
})
I can see there is no update since 3 years, but if this post message can help some of you, it is great!
Except this password problem, this SFTP is well done and works very fine. A big thank to Sébastien for this great job. Bravo !
That's because you don't want to escape your password. Use bareCredentials option:
const ftps = new FTPS({
host: xxxx,
port: xxxx,
bareCredencials: `${username}:${password}`,
protocol: xxxx,
escape: true,
retries: 3,
timeout: 20,
autoConfirm: true
})```
I happened to have a password to one site containing the string "&". With escape enabled this resulted in a the password sent to lftp being escaped which resulted in authentication failing. I changed the password to work around this but I worry there may be other password escaping glitches with escaping enabled causing lftp to fail to authenticate.
Note that this happened when using execAsStream() if that matters.
