Recovering saved password in Filezilla

Export your Site Manager information and you'll find them in plain text:

File > Export > Export Site Manager entries

It exports everything in XML like this:

<Server>
 <Host>ftp.example.com</Host>
 <Port>21</Port>
 <Protocol>0</Protocol>
 <Type>0</Type>
 <User>root</User>
 <Pass>mypass</Pass>
 [etc]
</Server>

All passwords are stored in plain text in this file:

/home/username/.filezilla/recentservers.xml

And for newer versions of filezilla and ubuntu, /home/username/.config/filezilla/recentservers.xml If the passwords are base64 encoded, https://www.base64decode.org/ can be used to get the original password.

Ubuntu Linux FileZilla SiteManager file:

/home/username/.filezilla/sitemanager.xml
