Secure FTP plugins and password

[fabiochelly]

Is it possible to store passwords in the ini file?

[fnheiden]

Yes, you can do this by adding

[face=courier]password=<yoursecretpwd>[/face]

to the corresponding section in you wcx_sftp.ini.

Thank you very much.
And the command "dont_ask4_password" works too?

[fnheiden]

No Fabio, there is no key to disable the pwd-dialog.

Yes, you can do this by adding

password=<yoursecretpwd>

to the corresponding section in you wcx_sftp.ini.

Hmm, although this is possible, I wouln't recommend this. Why use high security SFTP and then store the clear text password in a file?

If you want to store the key, I would recommend that you use the public/private key method with the pageant tool. Here you have to enter your pass phrase once before you can enter the site.

The problem is that I have to store many complex passwords for many SSH FTP accounts (I can't manage the servers, I just have an access as a client).
Isn't it possible to add encryption to passwords in the ini file?

Yes, it would be possible - please ask the plugin author.

OK. Thank you very much.
