• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be 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.

FTP users have access to root directory on server. How to resolve
 
@Raymond_Davelaar, are you sure you're not mistaking server root for root of a chrooted shell? You may check /etc/passwd. How many entries (lines) does it have (please don't paste it here in full)?
 
which ftp server? proftpd? maybe you use sftp? are the users in /etc/passwd set to /bin/false?

/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
DocumentRoot set?
 
the users who are able to see root are granted bin/sh access under FTP settings. They cannot modify files but can read it and download it. Is there a saver way to grant them ssh access?
 
@Raymond_Davelaar, this dirs were added to your webspace after "Web Hosting Access" -> "Access to the server over SSH" was selected as "/bin/bash (chrooted)". They are hardlinks from /var/www/vhosts/chroot/ and no copies or links from your filesystem root (/). You could select another access type at Web Hosting Access to remove this dirs.
