@WebHallaHow 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 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>An example of a FileZilla server configuration.
<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>
- 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.
Warning: The following steps use an internet website to "decrypt" the password. Please be aware of company policies implemented for transmitting passwords in plain text over the internet. Use your favorite local base64 decoding program instead. - Go to the great website opinionatedgeek by Geoff Taylor and copy everything between <Pass encoding="base64"> and </Pass> in the text box.
- Now click the button "Decode Safely As Text" and a new Decoded Output text box opens containing your FileZilla password in plain text.
Example of a decoded FileZilla password using the Opinionated Geek website. Please read your company policy about using passwords before transmitting passwords over the internet.
