Does the password have an extra space before or after the password?
Sometimes copying and pasting the password will include an extra space that doesn't belong.

Does the password contain any non-Latin1 characters such as Ã Ã¨ Ã« Ã¯ Ã• Ãœ ?
With servers switching to UTF-8 some require passwords to be UTF-8 encoded while older legacy servers require standard ANSI/Latin1, this has been a royal headache because there is no obvious correct answer without trying one and then the other, however some FTP servers do not allow second chances.
