How to Recover Saved Passwords in CuteFTP

In this article, you’ll learn where CuteFTP stores your FTP login passwords, how they are protected, and how you can easily recover them.

CuteFTP Password Secrets

CuteFTP stores all your FTP login passwords at following location

[Windows Vista/7/8/10]
C:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Roaming\Globalscape\CuteFTP\[version]\sm.dat

[Windows XP/2003]
C:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Application Data\Globalscape\CuteFTP\[version]\sm.dat

Here [version] refers to CuteFTP version number (Example: 8.0, 9.0 etc).

CuteFTP stores all the FTP server configurations in “sm.dat” file using proprietary format. Only FTP server name is stored in clear text where as username & password are encrypted.

CuteFTP first converts both username & password to Unicode format. Then encrypt it using BLOWFISH-Compat algorithm with static 8 byte magic key.
