FTP doesn't work properly in Cyberpanel

[ijf]

Cyberpanel saves FTP password hashed but when I try to login it compare hashed password from database to plain password from FTP client.
Behavior: if I enter my FTP password in client it doesn’t work but if I enter hashed password from database it works.
I found a duct tape fix to this problem by changing ftp.password = hash.hexdigest() to ftp.password = password in /usr/local/CyberCP/plogical/ftpUtilities.py and reset my FTP passwords but hashing passwords would be more secure ofc. I checked Pure-FTPD settings and everything seems fine there, it’s configured to use md5 hashing algorithm so I can’t figure out what’s the cause of this. I tried on multiple fresh installations and every time it’s the same.

Hello @ijf

You can try this but we do not recommend it use sFTP instead

Problem with FTP Ubuntu 22.04

In ftpUtilities.py file, there is ftp.password = hash.hexdigest(). You should replace hash.hexdigest() with password. That’s all you need. Nothing else. Use normal ftp:// port 21 not sftp:// Works for me in Ubuntu 22.04

I use sFTP but I need access to specific location using FTP. I hope this will be fixed soon.

Same issue, Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS on Contabo VPS.
Fixed so far using dirty non-hashed pwd as suggested, but it’s not the jedy way.
