Decrypting FTP Passwords

The mailpasswords (and user sql passwords) are crypted in a different way so that ispcp can decrypt and use the cleartext password.

Thanks Joximu, so I assume if I want to recover the passwords I will have to do a brute force attack?

Many Thanks

OK think I have found a way to help me.

I wanted to migrate 2 ISPCP servers into one. One of the servers only has a few FTP accounts on it, I have found I can just copy the data with encrypted password from one database to another which allows login.
