Hi folks,
I have a rather annoying problem. My company uses a special character
as a part of a password for an ftp account a Linux server, and I cannot
seem to get Fedora 9 to connect to the server as a result. All the
Windows and even Mac clients that connect to that server seem to have no
problem, it's just that I can't seem to get another Linux box to do the
same.
The character keystroke under Windows is ALT-248. Now, I've used the
Character Map in F9 to identify the character (by using the find
feature) simply as the degree symbol, though it appears slightly
different under Windows, which is apparently U+00B0. The catch is even
when I copy the password from a known good source (an Excel file opened
in OpenOffice), connection attempts to the server fail.
Although I have the power to do so, I'm very reluctant to change the
password because of my co-workers; while they're willing to change
things, they'd have to update a fair number of ftp programs, and frankly
aside from my difficulties with it under Linux, it seems to be a pretty
good password. Obviously, it should be possible to enter this password
under Linux since it was set on a Linux box, but I seem to be out of
ideas of how to do it.
Anyone have any good ideas?
Thanks,
Raymond
