Trying to run .sh file. with --password "~/RPI.filename"in it. Should read the filename but getting an error. Even though the file exists

error:

Fatal: Failed to read password file: open ~/RPI/filename.sec: no such file or directory

list of directories and files:

~/RPI$ l
g.json  m1/  m2/  filename.sec  startm1.sh

It's not like I have never done this. I have used this exact method many times before but never ran into this issue. I have tried to redo the whole thing but still nothing

Did you actually place quotes around the filename ("~/RPI.filename" rather than ~/RPI.filename)? That will prevent the shell from treating ~ specially. See for example Why isn't tilde recognised as home folder in this case? – steeldriver Jul 04 '22 at 07:46
Yes my .sh file contains '--password "~/RPI/filename.sec"' word to word. – Mandy Lores Jul 04 '22 at 07:52
just changed the filename to match the question to avoid confusion – Mandy Lores Jul 04 '22 at 07:57
@steeldriver actually it was the opposite. Just tested it by removing quotation marks and it worked – Mandy Lores Jul 04 '22 at 18:13
