Adding users directly to xml file

[zook]

I have an existing user config xml file from another server which we need on the new server. The password field for the existing users are in the format

<Option Name="Pass">d442c31ed042d773a05d9e72635cc8c7</Option>

whereas the config file for new server has the format

<Option Name="Pass">17GG23B97A60CCF066F285D1D4FBD7CAF6F479FC8445A97A76F9D71A346286F06F627F789E68B0A05DDECC9DCC1888F49D2D96B8FEC36FCC0795F0D3CD22D2D2</Option>
<Option Name="Salt">ql_Yl{RbH[Kqqk_Uphn&lt;x]5*UQIv0vBwwMuz9.yi-+R!U)SI!Gpnq\T^e/)D+_KP</Option>

Is there any way of telling filezilla to accept this old pass format? We have over 50 accounts to add and we don't want to contact every user and give them new passwords.

As far as I know, FileZilla Server will accept the old format (MD5) and the new format (salted SHA512) alike. There is no conversion until you manually edit each user and immediately save it again. All new user accounts will use the new format, of course, as it is much more secure (the old MD5 can be very easily broken to find a collision).

OK great, thanks.

Just tested it with an account where we know the password and it does indeed work,
