I'm trying to write an integration script that I can use in the Workspace view that will let me Diff the local file with the remote file. It looks like the only way to do it is to get the FTP details and download the file myself, then feed the files to WinMerge (OSS Diff tool).

In order to do that, I need to decrypt the stored passwords for the accounts in Application Data\NuSphere\PhpED\config\accounts.cfg.

Here's what a stored password looks like in that file:

(this is not a real password)

Looks like 87 characters and then a "==". Anyone have any idea what the encryption algorithm used is, and what the salt might be? Not too hopeful about this.

Why not to use diff utility that comes with every source control system?

well, i plan on using WinMerge, but I suppose the actual Diff program doesn't matter.
What I need to know is if the file has changed on the remote server, or if my copy of the file and the server's copy don't match.
Currently there's a SmartSync function, but it just downloads if the file is different.
I need access to the remote file, and this is impossible through PhpED. Therefore I need the FTP details stored in PhpED.

Basically I'm trying to replicate the DW "Compare local file with remote" function.

Please, if there's an easier way to do this, I'm all ears.
