• Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Resolved Access web hosting via sftp

python

Regular Pleskian
I just installed plesk Onyx 17.0.17 and I created my website but it turns out that now I want to upload files via sftp but I do not know how to do it since if I am going to access web hosting it makes me to access server via ssh is forbidden.

How do I enable sftp for my web user?
 
Hi python,

How do I enable sftp for my web user?
Did you know, that there is a server-wide security setting?

=> Home > Tools & Settings > Security Policy

Options:

  • Allow only secure FTPS connections
  • Allow both secure FTPS and non-secure FTP connections ( <= recommended! )
  • Allow only non-secure FTP connections. Do not use FTPS
In addition, pls. note, that you are able to change SSH - access for each FTP - user at:

=> Home > Subscriptions > YOUR-DOMAIN.COM > FTP Access > YOUR-FTP-USER-ACCOUNT

Options:
  • Forbidden
  • /bin/sh
  • /bin/dash
  • /bin/bash
  • /bin/rbash
  • /bin/bash (chrooted) ( <= recommended! )
 
Hello thanks for replying, I do not find the security option to activate sftp, it is a linux system is sftp, I still do not know where it is activated.

I can only access the server via sftp with the root user.

regards
