Tell that to IBM!! (Who surely should no better!) I'm using the scp task
to copy files from a remote IBM WebSphere MQ installation and have no
control over the remote path! As I said, it worked previously (in Ant
1.6.5) so I'm concerned that a bug has been introduced into Ant 1.7
which needs resolving.

Probably not the advice you are looking for, but I'll share it anyway...

I strongly recommend against using any of the following characters in
file names or pathnames.
@$#%*!~()\|/?`,;:<> (perhaps others as well)

Programming languages and shells often treat these characters
differently than alpha-numeric characters. Programmers know this, and
often write their programs without anticipating that these characters
might be used in file names and path names. I recommend avoiding such
characters in file and path names to save yourself from this, and other
such headaches.
