I am now thinking that there is something strange with how the password is saved, because if I change the password for "steve-ftp" in ISPConfig to something like "123456" then issue:-

select * from ftp_user where username like "%steve%";

the follwing is displayed:-

+-------------+------------+-------------+---------------+----------------+----------------+-----------+------------------+-----------+------------------------------------+------------+--------+------+---------+-------------------------------+-------------+----------+----------+--------------+--------------+
| ftp_user_id | sys_userid | sys_groupid | sys_perm_user | sys_perm_group | sys_perm_other | server_id | parent_domain_id | username  | password                           | quota_size | active | uid  | gid     | dir                           | quota_files | ul_ratio | dl_ratio | ul_bandwidth | dl_bandwidth |

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

now if I again change the password in ISPConfig to something else, then change it back to "123456" and again issue at the command prompt:-

select * from ftp_user where username like "%steve%";

The following is generated:-

+-------------+------------+-------------+---------------+----------------+----------------+-----------+------------------+-----------+------------------------------------+------------+--------+------+---------+-------------------------------+-------------+----------+----------+--------------+--------------+
| ftp_user_id | sys_userid | sys_groupid | sys_perm_user | sys_perm_group | sys_perm_other | server_id | parent_domain_id | username  | password                           | quota_size | active | uid  | gid     | dir                           | quota_files | ul_ratio | dl_ratio | ul_bandwidth | dl_bandwidth |

As can be seen the encrypted password is now different even though I set it to "123456" in both cases.
