Change Password Remotely

The ability to allow a user to change a FTP user password remotely is not part of the original RFC-959 specification. But recognizing that this is important feature, we've implemented an extension to the protocol, in BulletProof FTP Server, to allow a user to change their password with the command "SITE PSWD <oldpass> <newpass>". Since this is a custom "SITE" command, your FTP Client will need to ability to issue commands directly to the FTP Server.

In our FTP Client, BulletProof FTP Client (http://www.bpftp.com), all you need to do is pull-down the "Commands" menu and select "Custom Command...". When the dialog box asks for the "Custom Command", enter "SITE PSWD <oldpass> <newpass>". This will issue the command to BulletProof FTP Server and the password will changed and valid for the next login.

If you don't use BulletProof FTP Client, you'll need to consult the support information for your FTP Client in order to find out how to enter a custom command.
