  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

FTP password length

A user has been complaining the, when resetting a domain's FTP password, long passwords don't work. I tried it out and he's right. I reset an FTP password to a new 16-digit password and I then couldn't log in via FTP or sFTP. Is this a limitation of the OS, FTP/sFTP, Plesk? What is the limit and shouldn't the Plesk GUI be aware of this and not let you add a long password?

Ten years and still not fixed...
What is the reason for this limit? When storing passwords in hashed form instead of plain, the length should not be a problem.
