By using the similarity transformations approach, the exact propagator for a generalized one-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation, with linear drift force and space-time-dependent diffusion coefficient, is obtained. The method is simple and enables us to recover and generalize special cases studied through the Lie algebraic approach and the Green function technique.
