Recovering password from SFTP plugin.
Hi.
I recently installed SFTP plugin and I was using it for
quite a long time but I am about to reinstall TotalCMD
but I forger my password to one of the server and my
question is how can I recover that passowrd? I found
sftpplug.ini but password seems to be encrytped in some
way. Those are numbers from 0 to 9. It looks something
like this:
0184732649275492734729467279132134 (don't worry this
isn't real) anyone have idea how to decrypt that or
something?

Re: Recovering password from SFTP plugin.
Which password exactly are we talking about? The password for the SFTP server or its private key? You can (re)set those yourself on the SFTP system. If you protected the SFTP connection password with the TC master password, you're out of luck. There's no way to retrieve it, but you can reset it by removing the value from the password= line (everyting after the =).

Re: Recovering password from SFTP plugin.
The normal password that you type in the textbox.Which password exactly are we talking about?
I think I doesn't even have master password setup.If you protected the SFTP connection password with the TC master password, you're out of luck.
So as I understand there is a way to recover it then it is not using master password?There's no way to retrieve it, but you can reset it by removing the value from the password= line (everyting after the =).
Re: Recovering password from SFTP plugin.
Neither password I described above can be recovered as far as I know. Do you still have some way to access that remote system via SSH (e.g. PuTTY)? If so, set a new password on that system and you're done.

You can use the tool BulletsPassView when not running TC as administrator:

It worked!
Thanks you. It was really important for me to recover it.
