I was given login credentials to a server and there is an @ character in my username. How can I make an SSH connection in my terminal?
username: foo@domain.com
host: domain.com
I've tried
$ ssh "foo@domain.com"@domain.com
$ ssh foo@domain.com -l domain.com
Nothing is seeming to work.
Any help?

If the username is foo@domain.com you can try this:
$ ssh 'foo@domain.com'@domain.com

I just created a new user on my system called foo@domain and I could ssh into it perfectly well with just
ssh foo@domain@server
If for whatever reason that does not work for you, you can also do
ssh 'foo@domain'@badabing
or
ssh 'foo\@domain'@badabing

Whoever gave you the login credentials may have made a mistake. Have you tried just: ssh foo@domain.com?

I've voted you up, and I'm going to leave it, but there are instances where this is possible, and the first @ can be replaced with a +. – None – 2012-10-26T20:25:59.220
Wow. I never knew that '@' was a valid username character... but then I never tried to use a username with an '@' in it. – BenjiWiebe – 2012-10-26T20:27:45.770
1It depends on the environment. I've seen with some virtual hosts this set-up. It's not pretty. – None – 2012-10-26T20:30:14.267

I think that your username is foo so you should try: ssh foo@domain.com that will prompt you for the password.

Depending what OS you're using you can just connect in to the domain and enter a username once you join. Not optimal but still a solution. – Jon – 2014-05-21T00:00:50.310
