External database authentication using SHA1 hash

Question

Hi,

I have a asp.net web site, using microsoft asp.net membership with SHA1 hash. I am looking at CompleteFTP to see if it can authenticate against it. I downloaded the trail version of CompleteFTp and I see option for Plain text and MD5 hash but not SHA1 hash. How do I authenticate against SHA1 hash?

Thanks,
Ana

Answer 1

Currently only MD5 password hashes are supported.

Answer 2

Is there any other way I can check database to authenticate? Is there any other mechanism you support for external authentication?

Answer 3

Yes, you can write an authentication extension in C# or VB.NET (see here). This requires Enterprise Edition though.

Answer 4

If I write authentication extension, can users still use ftp commands to login and add/update/remove folders and files?

Answer 5

Yes, authentication extensions are purely for authenticating the user, and all other operations are as normal.

Answer 6

Does completeFTP support any other external event handlers? For example, if I want to clean up a directory on file uploads.

Answer 7

Yes, you can run an executable, a batch file or some other script after a successful transfer. See
