Off Topic How can i know my VPS password ? How can i know my VPS password ?
15 replies Hello, nice to meet you here guy's.
My question is, how can i know my VPS password.
Look, i know the password to login with PuTTY but when i want to log in with my same data in FTP, it shows me the password worng.
I searched but i didn't found anything. if you want to use FTP you need to have a FTP server running.
If you want to log in with your putty username, chose SFTP instead of FTP when connecting You didn't understand me right ?
I said that i didn't know my FTP/SFTP password.
I didn't say learn me some of putty, and how can i log in. DC Admin Offline
He understood you and what he told you is true. You need an FTP server program on your vServer to use FTP. I have a better alternative for you though:
WinSCP http://winscp.net/
It's an FTP client but it can use the SSH connection (SFTP). This means you can use the same login data as you're using with putty and you don't have to install an FTP server program on your vServer. @ DC: Dear, actually i'm using WinSCP it's work great.
But, the password is the problem. In the past, i could use it fine and it's work, but now the password changed and i don't know who change it.
This is the problem. I don't even want to help you anymore after seeing how you ignored my fully correct post.
Anyways, if you're using SFTP (that's exactly what winscp does and that's exactly what I told you) you need to use exactly the same username and password that you're using in putty (that's also what I've told you before). So if your password works in putty it also works in winscp But, why it doesn't work?
I put the same password. '-' me BR

"Someone" changed your user name and password? Contact your vServer provider to reset/change your password. You may also be able to do that on the admin/control center website of your vServer provider.
Use better passwords and never use the same password for multiple different things. @ DC: It was working fine as well, but after some week's it didn't !

So... your password doesn't work anymore and your hoster will be inactive soon. Maybe those two things are connected...? You should know yourself that you can forget that VPS then sooner or later. No i can't, it's very nice one !
Also, can i with a bash command know what is my password ? if you get into the bash you have to use your password, so you KNOW it! I know my PUTTY password.
But, Sftp password was same like PUTTY's, and now it's changed. That's impossible. SFTP USES ssh so it uses EXACTLY the same account your putty connection uses The problem Solved
