Problem with SFTP Command line, "@" in username.

Hi Guys Any help is appreciated very much!

I'm trying to use SFTP to an external server using the native SFTP Client in RHEL 6 and 7.

I've been given a username on the remote SFTP Server of myemail@myorg.com.

I can not seem to escape that @ sign no matter what I do.

I've tried these examples and several other iterations of the same thing:
Code:
sftp "myemail\@myorg.com" remoteftpsite.com
sftp 'myemail@myorg.com' remoteftpsite.com
sftp myemail\@myorg.com' remotesftpsite.com
sftp myemail\100myorg.com remotesftpsite.com

For whatever reason, I can not simply get it to connect using the credentials myemail@myorg.com.

Any help is appreciated very much!!

Try:

Code:
sftp 'myemail@myorg.com'@remoteftpsite.com

That way wont connect at all.

What do you think of that "port 22:11" I've never seen that before...

Code:
# sftp 'myemail@myorg.com'@ftpsite.com
#BANNER#
Received disconnect from #IP ADDRESS# port 22:11: Application error
Authentication failed.
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer

Something is really wrong here. Most UNIX usernames are not as long as the myemail@myorg.com and some UNIX systems limit the length. I do not think that was meant as a username. It is an ssh connect string.

What does
Code:
ssh myemail@myorg.com

show?
I realize that is probably a name you made up for the question.

Next question: did you personally get ssh keys for ftpsite.com for that myemail user for myorg.com?

Last question: This was probably intended as a 'three-way' connection
1. ssh to myorg.com (as user myemail) with you owning ssh keys
2. then sftp from myorg.com to ftpsite, send files created by myemail on myorg.com to ftpsite.

Was this ever explained to you this way?

Yes, something definitely off!

ssh myemail@myorg.com wont work, not even with the real data, i'd be doing an ssh to my own domain.

No I don't have ssh keys, I was given a user ID and a password from the vendor running the SFTP Site.

For the last question.. No.

They gave me a user id and password to login to their sftp server in the following format:

SFTP User Name = myemailaddress@mydomain (its my email address)
Password = Regular clear text password.

I am able to get it to work correctly using psftp from a windows command line.
Code:
C:\Windows\system32>psftp -l myuserid@myorg.com sftpsite.com
Using username "myuserid@myorg.com".
Property of #Company# Systems. Unauthorized use prohibited.
myuserid@myorg.com@sftpsite.com's password:
Remote working directory is /
psftp>

I can also get it to work using the filezilla windows client.

I tried it with both regular and double quotes.

Code:
# sftp -o User='myuser@myorg.com' sftpsite.com
Property of #Company# Systems. Unauthorized use prohibited.
Received disconnect from # SFTP Server IP ADDRESS # port 22:11: Application error
Authentication failed.
