How Users Can Change Their Password

If the FTP client supports sending a SITE or QUOTE command, users can change their password from the client. If you do not want a user to be able to change their password, in the user properties, select Disable Password Change.

For example, using the WS_FTP Pro "classic" client, you change the password as follows:

  1. Log on to the FTP host.
  2. In the Remote Site (right-side) panel, select FTP Commands
    ->Site     from the right mouse menu.
  3. In the Input dialog box, enter the following command:
CPWD password
where password is the new password.
Check the Log Window (LogWnd) to see that the command was successful.
  1. Log off and log back on with your new password.

Some FTP clients also support the Quote command. In the Quote command box, you can enter SITE CPWD password where password is your new password.
