Is there a way we can retrieve passwords saved for FTP accounts under NppFTP plugin with Notepad++?

Thank you. Jae

There is one way but you must put some effort:

1. Download Wireshark http://www.wireshark.org/ (program for network monitoring)
2. After installation, open it as administrator
3. Click: Capture->Interfaces
4. Choose interface which has some packets (you will see them if you wait on this screen for a while) and click Start
5. Open Notepad++ and connect to FTP of your choice
6. Go back to the wireshark and click stop (4th button on the left)
7. Inside filter field type: ftp
8. Your password will be listed among other stuff about this FTP connection (check out the Info column for Request: PASS)

It's not an easy solution but it's good for every FTP program not only Npp

It is in %APPDATA%\Notepad++\plugins\Config\NppFTP\NppFTP.xml however the passwords are hashed somehow.
