How do I type an SFTP password with '$' in a Linux terminal?

@ari.olson 

To type an SFTP password with a '$' symbol in a Linux terminal, you can escape the '$' character by using a backslash ''. Here's an example:

1. Open your terminal.
2. Type the SFTP command, followed by the username and the server's IP address or domain name. Press Enter. sftp username@server_ip
3. When prompted for the password, type it but add a backslash before the '$' character. Password: my$password
4. Press Enter to log in.

By escaping the '$' symbol, the Linux terminal treats it as a regular character and not as a special one.

To add to the previous response, here's the example in detail:

1. Open your terminal.
2. Type the SFTP command followed by the username and address:

1

sftp username@server_ip

1. Press Enter.
2. When prompted for the password, type it while escaping the '$' character with a backslash:

1

Password: my$password

1. Press Enter to log in.

By escaping the '$' symbol, you ensure that the Linux terminal interprets it as a regular character part of your password. This way, any special meaning associated with '$' in the terminal is bypassed.
