Risk of sftp.json file being posted on line compromising passwords

[MHPAP]

Is this a similar or duplicate feature request?

• [ ] I don't know. I will go check it.
• [ X] No.

**If you transfer your website to another host, copying all the files create a copy of the sftp.json file on line. Malicious people scan for those files to steal passwords and take control of the websites. I did it (shame on me - error is human - if something can go wrong it will) an was quickly attacked.

**All the passwords should be stored locally outside the website structure, like one level up, to reduce the risk of posting passwords on line inadvertently.

**Alternatively, encrypting the passwords or the sftp.json file
