I needed to recover my FTP passwords from a copy of FileZilla today but I either didn't trust the various downloads or didn't want to pay to use them.

So here is the free-to-use code for recovering your FileZilla FTP passwords.

You will need to copy the "Pass" variable from the FileZilla.xml file or registry into the textbox when you run. Unlike the other versions out there, this doesn't go looking for the password files or search the registry. I think you can take care of that, the difficult part of deciphering the password is taken care of for you.

Code as usual is in C#

Some of my blogs written in the last 3 months have been lost by my hosting provider.

Since I kept getting similar things happening I lost interest in my blog at the time.

Now I'm back and I'm working on a new DNS server to be used in conjunction with a Windows Hosting Control Panel I'm putting together for Windows Server 2003/2008.
