Problem with % character. To sent a printf command.

Hi everyone,
I have a problem sending a command printf to a remote Linux server by sftp.

In a long /command that has always worked fine, I need to send a formatted printf like this:
etc.....| awk '{ printf ("%s;%s", ,$8,$5)}'`....etc

The problem is the special character % (I've tried with %25, but nothing changed).
How, can I do? Any suggeston?
Thanks

Best Regards :)

How are you sending the command?
Please attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

Hi,
I use the scripting automation to transfer files, and everything works fine.
Just one exception, when I try to transfer the file "Got+questions%3F.png"

So, wincsp tranfers the file on the serveur (linux debian 6).
But the filename becomes "Got+questions?.png" on the linux server.

I understand that it is because "%3F" is understood as "?" (special character).
But, if I write "put Got+questions%253F.png", Winscp answers that the file "Got+questions%253F.png" doesn't exist (can't find it).

So, what do you think, how can I make Winscp not "understand" the code "%3F" in the filename, and correctly name the file on the linux server ?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Alain

You have to turn off Replace ‘\:*?’ transfer settings option.

To turn it off in scripting, see:
