Error description

• While creating or updating remote profile for SFTP users using
  API calls, an exception is thrown when you use backslash for the
  SFTP user.
  An external application sendings files to external agencies
  through SFG, and the call is through the B2B API. The issue
  occurs
  when creating or updating the profile as the SFTP user name
  contains a backslash.
  
  When using the backslash character, the following error occurs:
  
  <NS1:Envelope
  xmlns:NS1="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
     <NS1:Body>
        <NS1:Fault>HTTP PUT Request for RemoteProfile failed: 400

    "errorCode": 400,
    "errorDescription": "API000385: Invalid element: Remote user
  The
  following characters are not valid:  !  @  #  %  ^  *  (  )
  +  ?  , <  >  {  }  [  ]  |  ;  \"   and space. Please try
  again"
  }</NS1:Fault>
