Yes. The missing f: was my problem. The documentation is a bit vague in this point as it looks for Windows users like a drive letter instead of an necessarily starting code.


Maybe you can modify the manual from:
https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/gen...calibredb.html

--password
Password for connecting to a calibre Content server. To read the password from standard input, use the special value: <stdin>. To read the password from a file, use: <f:/path/to/file>.)

to something like:

--password
Password for connecting to a calibre Content server. To read the password from standard input, use the special value: <stdin>. To read the password from a file, use: <f:/path/to/file>.
Angle brackets and f: for reading from a file are required. Some OS shell like Windows standard shell need for processing quotes to escape.

Sample: --password "<f:c:/path/to/file>"

A password text file only include a password without trailing newline.
