| |
I've just added an FTP account via the cPanel FTP Account Maintenance section, and tried to give it a secure password (ie: not entirely alphanumeric), but apparently only alphanumeric ones are allowed.
When I changed my main account password the other day I could use non-alphanumeric symbols fine, and that new PW works with FTP too, so I'm guessing its something up with the FTP Account Maintenance section of cPanel?

Hmm, this is a new one to me! I'll have a look myself.
Thanks,
Andrew

Peter,
I've updated a test FTP accounts password to all sorts of weird and wonderful things and I'm yet to get an error. Can you narrow it down to one particular character that is causing cPanel the issue?
Thanks,
Andrew

I tried it with an exclamation mark at the end.
It's been a day of nightmare-strange bugs at work today though, so I'll try again and see what happens.

Yup still doing it. It's a JavaScript error...
| Code: |
var alphnumpattern = /^[a-z0-9_-]+$/i;
...
if (login.match(alphnumpattern) == null) {
alert("Your password can only be an alphanumeric string.");
return false;
}

No problems with actually changing a password though - held shift and mashed the number row and it accepted that fine.

Well that's pretty clear cut then, I imagine there is a reason this is implemented by cPanel but they've obviously forgotten to add similar code when people update their main passwords.
