Never put your password in the URL. That's a hack for dirty scripts and
developers that just want to test something. Either put your credentials
in a properties file and run the VM like:
java -Djcifs.properties=beta.prp MyProgram
or better still, create an NPA and pass that to the SmbFile constructor:
NtlmPasswordAuthentication creds =
new NtlmPasswordAuthentication("alpha", "beta", "gamma#");
SmbFile file = new SmbFile(url, creds);
or if you must put your credentials in the URL you must URL encode
any characters reserved for use within URLs. In particular if you
have a '#' or a '%' you need to substitute that with the '%xx'
where 'xx' is the hexadecimal value for that ASCII character like:
http://alpha;beta:gamma%23@delta/foo/bar
