You have created a FTP Site in FileZilla site manager.  Some months later, you forgot the password to the FTP Site.

Is there any way to retrieve the password stored in the FileZilla site manager?
Some version of FileZilla store its password in plaintext.  Meaning, you just need to open the file using Notepad and you can see the password.


The following files are what you need to know about:
filezilla.xml – Stores most recent server info including password in plaintext.
recentservers.xml – Stores all recent server info including password in plaintext.
sitemanager.xml – Stores all saved sites server info including password in plaintext.
These files can usually be found in the following directories:
Windows XP/2K: “C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\FileZilla”
Windows Vista: “C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\FileZilla\”
