ftp access at root level

[kadoudal]

ftp (Proftpd) is running well for all domains and sub-domains created via Plesk

I am trying to access my server via ftp at root level ( path / ) via a client or via console , and I cannot ..
credentials are not accepted..
should I ( and can I ?) create an ftp user for the Plesk admin ? if yes ? how ?

( console ssh access is fine , so the credentials are good...)

WinSCP

Why don't you use something like WinSCP which will use SSH to transfer files? It is much more secure and especially with the ProFTPd vulnerability it might be a good idea to keep away from giving your FTP server access to /

Yes , I understand ... I read about the RootLogin stuff being dangerous.. and better use SCP..

I'll try to find something similar to WinSCP on Mac .. as I run OS X

thanks

One possibility would be to run WinSCP using Wine on your Mac.
