Back to the ICT-Hotlist...How to retrieve your FTP passwords from FileZilla
You probably once got an e-mail with the FTP settings for a download site, entered the credentials in FileZilla, lost the mail and now someone else needs the FTP account. Or you got a new PC assigned and suddenly need to FTP a bug report, noticing your sites and passwords are not transferred to the new PC. Of course you can contact your ftp partner, fill out a few forms, send them in and wait a few days whilst your boss gets angry behind your back when the sales system grinds to a halt.As you by now know from reading all the other tips, they do not work as FileZilla now encrypts the password in the configuration file.
These are the steps to get your password with the current versions of FileZilla.
- Open the file explorer and paste the path %AppData%/filezilla in the address bar and open the file sitemanager.xml in Notepad or your favorite text editor (NotePad++)
- Search for the section containing the ftp site. See for an example the next text box.
<Server>
<Host>ftp.van_Soest.it</Host>
<Port>21</Port>
<Protocol>0</Protocol>
<Type>0</Type>
<User>Johan</User>
<Pass encoding="base64">VGhpc0lzQVRlc3RQYXNzd29yZA==</Pass>
<Logontype>1</Logontype>
<TimezoneOffset>0</TimezoneOffset>
<PasvMode>MODE_DEFAULT</PasvMode>
<MaximumMultipleConnections>0</MaximumMultipleConnections>
<EncodingType>Auto</EncodingType>
<BypassProxy>0</BypassProxy>
<Name>ftp://ftp.van_Soest.it</Name>
<Comments />
<LocalDir />
<RemoteDir />
<SyncBrowsing>0</SyncBrowsing>
<DirectoryComparison>0</DirectoryComparison>ftp://ftp.van_Soest.it
</Server>
An example of a FileZilla server configuration. - You now can find the password in the line.
<Pass encoding="base64">VGhpc0lzQVRlc3RQYXNzd29yZA==</Pass>Notice the encoding type "base64". This explains the encoding type used to encrypt the password.
- Now open your favorite base64 decoding program. Every postmaster has one.
|
Use your favorite local base64 decoding program. This program keeps all data within the company walls and can do much more than the online variant demonstrated here.
 Copy everything between <Pass encoding = "base64"> and </Pass> into the text box. Now click on the "Decode to Text" button and the Output box will show your FileZilla password in plain text. |
