  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

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
