Hi, I don´t know if I should call this a bug, but it certainly should be considered "risky" for those using the FTP upload option.
I´m using the free version and I noticed that when I set up the FTP account, if I put a wrong password and test the connection there´s an error message showing the wrong password

Request: PASS 123456 (example)
Response: 530 Authentification failed, sorry.

The "bug" is that if I put the right password, anyone with access to the back up software is allowed to know my FTP pass, and I don´t think that should happen.

Example:
Let´s say my pass is ABC
so someone else that has access to the DB and PC adds a character to the password field (***1, for example)
The message would say:
Request: PASS ABC1
Response: 530 bla bla bla....
What concerns me is that there are many people who may be able to handle the DB, but that´s no reason for any of them to know the FTP account.

So could you please check this issue?
Or change that message just to "Wrong password" or whatever.

Thanks in advanced

Thank you for reporting this. We do encrypt all passwords in our *.jobx file, but it seems it is exposed in this case. We'll try to fix it soon. Thanks again.
