Is there a backdoor to view my clients FTP without knowing the password?

Solution

Question : Is there a backdoor to view my clients FTP without knowing the password? I am a reseller.

There is no plain text record, even for root, to view clients passwords. The only copies on the server will be in the password hashes in the /etc/proftpd/*files .
