Well according to our
rules:
"These are not hacker boards so hacker related posts will be promptly deleted or moderated."
So we are not going to help you with cracking a password. The only reason that I think of for an immediate need to know would be to give the password to another user. If that is the case, you could set up an equivalent account. Different uname name and password. Same uid, gid, home directory and shell.

ftp_alloc
FTP_ALLOC(3) 1 FTP_ALLOC(3)
ftp_alloc - Allocates space for a file to be uploaded
SYNOPSIS
bool ftp_alloc (resource $ftp_stream, int $filesize, [string &$result])
DESCRIPTION
Sends an ALLO command to the remote FTP server to allocate space for a file to be uploaded.
Note
Many FTP servers do not support this command. These servers may return a failure code ( FALSE) indicating the command is not sup-
ported or a success code ( TRUE) to indicate that pre-allocation is not necessary and the client should continue as though the oper-
ation were successful. Because of this, it may be best to reserve this function for servers which explicitly require preallocation.
PARAMETERS
o $ftp_stream
- The link identifier of the FTP connection.
o $filesize
- The number of bytes to allocate.
o $result
- A textual representation of the servers response will be returned by reference in $result if a variable is provided.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
ftp_alloc(3) example
<?php
$file = "/home/user/myfile";
// connect to the server
$conn_id = ftp_connect('ftp.example.com');
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, 'anonymous', 'user@example.com');
if (ftp_alloc($conn_id, filesize($file), $result)) {
echo "Space successfully allocated on server. Sending $file.
";
ftp_put($conn_id, '/incomming/myfile', $file, FTP_BINARY);
} else {
echo "Unable to allocate space on server. Server said: $result
";
}
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
