Since no one seems to answer any of my questions, I finally managed to find what I needed after hours of looking. After searching this forum, I didn't find a single helpful response regarding multiple FTP accounts as Plesk does not allow more than one.
For those who may have the same problem:
After much looking, I managed to get multiple FTP accounts working per domain in Plesk 7.5.2. By default the Plesk control panel does not allow you to have more than one FTP user account per domain, so this will have to be done manually via the prompt in SSH (
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/). Here's what I did:
1) Logged into SSH with root account.
2) Typed the following to add the user:
useradd -d/home/httpd/vhosts/xxxxx.com -g10001 -p123 -s/bin/false user
The above should work if you just insert the proper domain name, password, and user. You should be able to leave the other parameters as they are above.
The general syntax is the following:
useradd -d<HOME DIRECTORY> -g<GROUP> -p<FTP PASSWORD> -s<SHELL INFORMATION> <FTP USER>

3) Next type the following to restart your FTP server. We want to make sure the changes take effect.
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
Or the following may do as well:
Lastly, you can also try:
4) You may change this user's FTP password if needed by typing the following:
5) Lastly, make sure you add this user to the proper group so they can actually browse directories and work with files when logged in via FTP:

Please note that "psaserv" is the same group regular FTP users are added to. So you can now have multiple FTP users under the same domain account!
