Not sure if this will help, but perhaps FZ is using TLS. Could try: https://github.com/liximomo/vscode-sftp/issues/499

Hello as1414, Thank's for your help but it's not the solution. I test FZ without the support of TLS and the connexion work fine. I alos test with other FTP client without TLS and it also worked. I ended up giving up using the extension vscode-sftp and use another solution.

@vinyloup I know you've closed this, but I was having the same issue (I could connect with the credentials in transmit/filezilla but not through the extension) this comment: https://github.com/liximomo/vscode-sftp/issues/702#issuecomment-597865032 helped, basically in vscode press cmd+shift+p -> type terminal:select default shell and select the same as your server (for me I was using zsh, switched to bash and it worked!)

[vinyloup]

Thank you very much, KieranO547. I will test because it can also be useful to avoid other problems. Be safe!

For me it was solved by not using an = sign in my password. Could be that there is an encoding issue here.
