'''WS_FTP''' (WinSock File Transfer Protocol) is a longstanding commercial [[FTP]] program for Windows, published by Ipswitch Software. (Their website these days is so intent to push big-bucks "enterprise solutions" that you're more hard-pressed to find the plain old FTP program there these days.)

Its configuration files are in a system-dependent location, but for WS_FTP Professional 2007 running in Windows 7 or XP, its configuration files are generally found in '''c:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Ipswitch\WS_FTP''' and its subdirectories. The file where the site setup is located in the '''Sites''' subdirectory as '''ws_ftp.ini'''.

The .ini file starts with '''[_config_]''' on the first line. Lines are broken with CR+LF (in the standard DOS/Windows style), and consist of a series of name/value pairs with the equal sign separating the name from the value. Some of the values are surrounded with double quotes ("), while others aren't. Passwords are encrypted. Each section describing a particular connection is preceded by a line with the site name in brackets (and no equal sign).
