Login error if ftp password begins with: !

[lightfuze]

When trying to deploy using a FTP password that begins with ! the following error occurs:

I believe ! is a special character in YAML. Have you tried putting your password in quotes?

[lightfuze]

OK, that explains why other special characters work fine.

Yes, I tried both single and double quotes.

[scttnlsn]

@lightfuze Did you solve the issue? Would you mind sharing?

[lightfuze]

I apparently had not tried enclosing the password in double quotes: "!password" It works just fine.

[scttnlsn]

@lightfuze Ahh, okay. Thanks!
