The FTPPassword property specifies the password of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site where the publication snapshot files are stored.

ms146913.security(en-US,SQL.90).gifSecurity Note:
When possible, prompt users to enter their credentials at run time. Avoid hard-coding or storing credentials in a file. If credentials must be persisted between runs, encrypt them using the Win32 CryptoAPI functions. For more information, see this Microsoft Web site.

Important

Support has been dropped for creating subscriptions to Subscribers running Microsoft SQL Server version 7.0 that are initialized using FTP.

The default is no password. Typically, an e-mail address of the form user@company.com is used for FTP passwords.

These properties should not be required when you dynamically determine the FTP login properties by querying the publication. Provided for backward compatibility only: these properties will not be effective when used against Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or later publications unless the Subscriber is a Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 Subscriber.
