Anything else with a save password box is just as big a risk you tools. Complaining about getting your ftp password is like complaining about getting the clap from your $5 hooker.

But once i had accessed an FTP site using FireFTP using mozilla firefox on someone else's machine with remember password enabled. But later I deleted that account. Is there any possibility of recovering that account by that person, & which are the locations where the password for that account can be stored. I am really worried because this can lead to huge loss. Please help, Its very urgent so that i can take some action. Hello,

KeePass has some automation features that then allows me to fire up FileZilla and log in to the FTP site. I can even use it to set local and remote directory paths. Here's how I set it up: http://sww.co.nz/an-alternative-to-storing-passwords-in-filezilla-or-other-ftp-clients/ Cheers, Aidan My Solution is to use KeePass (a free open source password manager) to store all the connection details instead of using FileZilla’s site manager.
