ios - iTMSTransporter fails with error -20101 -

i've received email apple yesterday stating it's possible deliver app store metadata localizations using command-line tool called transporter.

i've downloaded itunes_store_transporter_quick_start_guide_v2.pdf itunes connect , followed example simple lookup of metadata of app:

to initiate lookup mode, use following command: $ itmstransporter -m lookupmetadata -u [itunes connect user name]                   -p [itunes connect password] -vendor_id [app sku]                   -destination [destination path app store package] 

however, although login credentials , other informations entered correct, receive following error:

[2013-07-19 14:34:40 mesz] <main> dbg-x:   parameter errors = [directory services reported following error: apple id or password entered incorrectly. (-20101)] [2013-07-19 14:34:40 mesz] <main> error: apple's web service operation not successful [2013-07-19 14:34:40 mesz] <main> error: error occurred while looking metadata. [2013-07-19 14:34:40 mesz] <main> error: directory services reported following error: apple id or password entered incorrectly. (-20101) [2013-07-19 14:34:40 mesz] <main> dbg-x: error code is: -20101 

infos: password contains special characters. i've tried pass password , without quotation marks.

@tafkadasoh it's dollar sign that's causing problem. since $ character reserved different kind of variables in unix, have escape it.

instead of

-p 'pass$123' 

use

-p 'pass\$123'
