Hi,

First i am not drunk, i just updated my WinSCP version to the newst and try to login to my servers.
So and nothing it says my password is false, filezilla says its correct and i am logged in (SFTP).
And yes i checked the password it has the same length and letters....
And thats it



Idea?
and AGAIN Yes the password is correct putty also logged me in, putty/filezilla vs winscp your decision.

  • I think you have quite strange username there.

    "neo" is strange?

  • I see using username " " i.e. only several spaces?

  • He put a white rectangle over the username.

    Thanked by 2rds100 Neoon
  • @Infinity580 did you import the connection details from putty to WinSCP? I had the same issue for a few servers, deleting and recreating the servers on WinSCP login fixed it for me.

  • If you can login to the server, do so, and create a key. Try using the key to auth.

  • If you can login via filezilla why do you need to login via winscp as well?

    Ok, weird seems like winscp dont know these letters: äöü thats why but Putty/Filezilla does.
    So i can't make my passwords even harder when i use winscp

    @BuyCPanel_Kevin i use it as API for a Software, they have such a nice lib :D

  • @Infinity580 - like joelgm said, just login and set up key auth. Then you can make your password as secure as you want to without worrying about which client you're using.

    I had same problem yestarday. I saved my password before hand before connection and it worked then. If i had to type it everytime it said: wrong password

    It looks like WinSCP has had a problem with accented characters in passwords for a while:
