I would like to try FreeFileSync to synchronize with a Livedrive briefcase through SFTP. The issue is that the username is my e-mail address, and this can't be changed. FreeFileSync does not handle @-symbols correctly. It keeps thinking that the e-mail server domain is the sftp domain. For example:

sftp://email@emailserver.com@sftp.livedrive.com

Then it tries to connect to sftp.emailserver.com.

I tried putting the username between single or double quotes, this does not help.

Any thoughts? Is this a bug or is there a workaround?

Support for @ and : in user names has been added (enter the actual login via the SFTP folder picker)
