Joomla: Can a super administrator get the ftp password of this site (from a configuration file or in any other way)?

I have access to the Joomla 1.5 server, which is a super-administrator. Now, what I want to do, remove this site and set a simple html file as the main page of the site. For this, I think I need ftp user / pass. Is there any way to get this pass from the joomla backend? I can see some entries in Help> System Information> Configuration File, where $ ftp_user: 'xxxxxx' and $ ftp_pass: 'xxxxxx'. Is there any way to know these values? Even if I can’t get ftp user / pass, can I somehow edit / browse any file / directory using joomla backend?

Yes, if the FTP user / password is saved in the Joomla configuration file. In the backend, go to the global configuration and look at the HTML source, find jform_smtppass and find the password value next to it.

Tested only with Joomla! 2.5.6.

You do not need ftp data that you can do using simple super-admin control. This: - 1. Create a new theme that has only a simple HTML page and requires css, images. 2.add this theme for joomla. 3.Paste this theme as the default theme, now you can see the html page that you recently integrated into the new theme.
