Can _netrc handle passphrases with spaces?
Pregunta
The following configuration works:
machine code.mycompany.net
login supernerd
password HelloW0rld
The following configuration doesn't work:
machine code.mycompany.net
login supernerd
password Please excuse my dear aunt sally.
Solución
From this bug report or this page, spaces in password don't seem to be supported in a .netrc (
or _netrc
) file.
Or even if they are, not all the programs using that .netrc
file will be able to interpret said space correctly.
As runrig mentions in the comments:
Quoting the field as in another answer here should work, but the python library doesn't like it.
But, e.g., command lineftp
and theperl netrc
library is fine with it.
So this should work when used when those commands:
password "Please excuse my dear aunt sally."
Otros consejos
Using ftp on IRIX 6.5 running on an SGI, I added quotes around my password and it works fine, e.g.:
password "Please excuse my dear aunt sally."
