passwords in config file

[nienberg]

I'd like to be able to add site information directly to the coreftp.cfg file (we share the file among several users). A typical entry is like this:

Name=test ftp site
Host=ftp.example.com
User=somename
Desc=
HostT=0
PW=49C36F8FCAE972C0E706C036AE08D716
Acct=

Can anyone tell me what procedure is used to convert a plain text password into the encrypted value stored in the config file? It does not appear to be a simple md5 hash. Thanks,

I'm not sure a command line option will help in my case. I was planning to edit the config file through a web interface on the unix file server that hosts the shared config file. So I won't have a way to call a windows program.

A simpler way would be to have an option that would allow CoreFTP to store and read plain text passwords. I don't have any need to obscure the passwords.

Thanks,

Thankyou!

In an ideal world, site information could optionally be specified in another config file (in addition to the registry or the regular config file) so that some sites could be shared among users while other sites and the other config stuff is unique to each user.

I agree. I'd really like unencrypted passwords & the option to store my site info. separate from my general settings info.

Thx,

build 1464 will contain an option (view -> options -> policy) to allow passwords to be stored in clear text.

Works great, but when you switch from encrypted passwords to clear text passwords, it corrupts all your existing password, so you have to re-type them all back in.
Can this be fixed?
