      @george1421 It’s been awhile since I posted because I was exploring other imaging options. Since this is established I really need to learn it.
      So you last instructed me to check the /.fogsettings text file for the FTP password. I found it and it’s an extremely ridiculous string of alpha-numeric characters. Nothing that anybody would remember. Is this particular password used automatically by the system or is it suppose to MATCH the GUI password?

        @dpotesta50 Its been so long I really forgot about this thread or where we are (and a bit lazy to re-read it at the moment).

        The password in the .fogsettings file is intended for internal use by the fog server and not by users. Its is intentionally long and complex to protect your fog server from brute force password hacks. This linux service account fog where the password is associated with is only for the fog service. It is not the same as the default web gui admin account called fog.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          @george1421 I’ve tried logging in multiple times via FTP using that password but fails everytime. HOWEVER. I’m not convinced it’s not failing because I’m mis-typing it. (though I did copy and paste the password and it still failed.) I will add, images created by the engineer BEFORE ME are working perfectly fine. We have no problems pulling those images. Only the ones i’m creating are having issues.

            @dpotesta50 ok lets assume that someone has mucked about with the linux user fog’s user account. (Not implying one way or the other). Since you can’t login via ftp, that is kind of in line with someone changing the fog user’s password.

            I’ll give you a hint here: if you use putty (free) from a windows computer to connect to your fog server when reviewing your .fogsettings file, you can copy and paste that crazy password much easier.

            I just wrote a tutorial on how to resync the fog service account here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11203/resyncing-fog-s-service-account-password

              @george1421 I was using CuteFTP so I’ll try putty. To clarify, this is what you’re talking about?

                @dpotesta50 yes, putty has several components, but what you might be interested in is the program called putty, which will give you remote terminal access to your FOG server. From there you can view the files just like on the console of the fog server, with the ability to copy text on the screen and paste it into an editor or web gui as part of the resync process.

                  @george1421 So what do these FTP credentials do for FOG and why are they (possibly) hindering my imaging process?

                    @george1421 I see no way to paste the password. CTRL-V doesn’t work. Right-Click- Paste is not available.

                      @dpotesta50 when using putty, highlighting text copies that text into your clipboard. right clicking pastes clipboard contents into the terminal window

                        @junkhacker it’s not going to auto-copy by highlighting OUTSIDE of putty i’m sure. I have the password in a regular text file on the desktop. I copy it, switch to the putty terminal window, right-click (no menus or anything show up), hit enter and get “invalid password”.
