  what i would liek to do is make it so that evry time a user regesters PN add's parts of their regestration info to a file .. mainly jsut username and pass .... the reason i would liek to do this is that my ftp servr stores its usernames and their passwords as a text document .. i would liek to make it so that evy new user is also regesterd with the ftp server .... .. ive learned that almost anythign is doable .. does anyone know how to go about this ??

  Why not write a script that read the DB for username and password combo and then oututs it to a text file you could then cron the job to run every few hours and that would solve your problem.

  The password is MD5 hash protected in the DB, so in theory you can not reverse it back to clear-text.
  
  Even if if could be done - you should not do it casually since this is going to create a potential loop hole in your server.

  yeah .. so is there anyway to have all the passwords and their corrisponding names saved as a text document (all of this bieng serverside not client) and for it to be secure?

  Hijack the New-User registration page and the Change Password page plus the Lost-Password page. You then can intercept the username, password input in clear text and write to a directory outside of the web root as an encrypted file. Then use write another server script to regularly decrypt these files and create the master pwd file.

  Then perhaps you should change your approach and using the UpDownload module (or the more complicated NukeOwl module) instead of FTP service - that way, your users can have read and write access to share files.
