I would like to know how to change the FTP user password manually. I am migrating a website to ISPCONFIG where the password I do not I copied and pasted it into the database but it didn't work.have access to and is in MD5 encryption on the other server. I created a password at the bank and set it to MD5 but still does not log in to FTP. Does anyone have any idea what I have to do? The passwords of the other server are in the /etc/shadow
You can not use md5 encrypted passwords. The password must be encrypted using Linux crypt, that#s the method the Linux system is hashing passwords and stores them in /etc/passwd file. /etc/shadow does not contain md5 encrypted passwords, at least I've never been any system that sues md5 there as md5 is completely insecure. Passwords in /etc/shadow are encrypted with crypt.
Okay, I still don't know if I'll be able to copy the password from the other server. But in this case, I put the password "123" for a user to test and it didn't work, I changed it in the ftp_users table in ispconfig and Setei as md5. I don't know if that would be the right way.
If the password is encrypted in the right format, then you can copy it. And as I mentioned above, md5 is not a valid encryption hasing, so a md5 encrypted password can not work. The password must be encrypted with crypt, e.g. crypt-sha256 or even the older crypt-md5 will work.
