How to recover Core FTP passwords

This guide tells you how to reveal your FTP server passwords saved in CoreFTP client.
This has been tested with Core FTP Pro, Lite and LE and works in Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Tested in December 2009.

We guarantee Core FTP passwords recovery provided they are saved in CoreFTP. You can check whether your FTP is saved by opening CoreFTP and trying to login without entering your password (username and password should already be filled in).

To find Core FTP passwords, download and install our FTP retrieval tool called Advanced FTP Password Recovery. This tool will intercept (sniff) your Core FTP password and will show it in a user-friendly interface.

Download Advanced FTP Password Recovery

While running the installation wizard click the Next button all the way through until the last screen. On the last screen make the checkbox called Run Advanced FTP Password Recovery is ticked and click Finish:

Once you clicked on the Finish button the recovery screen will appear:

If you use Quick Connect

Open File from the top menu in the CoreFTP and select Quick Connect.

In the Quick Connect window select the server for which you need to retrieve FTP password. Note the Hostname/IP/URL address that came up on a piece of paper or in a text file on your computer together with the Port number:

The Advanced FTP Password Recovery button should flash up in the lower taskbar:

If you use Site Manager to connect to FTP servers

Open Sites from the top menu of the Core FTP and select the Site Manager option:

In the Site Manager window select the FTP server for which you need to see the passwort. Note the Host/IP/URL and Port number on a piece of paper or in a text file saved on your computer:

Change Host/IP/URL to localhost and Port to 21* if it's not 21 already and click Connect:

* Note: before changing the port number in CoreFTP, note the port number that was stated in the Advanced FTP Password Recovery when you launched it in the message "Opening the FTP port (xx)...Ok!". xx is the port number that you should be using together with the localhost address.
