• 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.

Resolved How can I list FTP users on the machine and change a password?

Hi,

I need to get back into an FTP account that customer has no record of. Plesk is down so has to be SSH. How can I do this? I'm guessing the process is something obvious like 1.list users 2. change password for specific user?

I'm on CentOS 7.4

Passwords are crypted in Plesk database. But you can get list of ftp users and crypted passwords with something like:

Code:
# plesk db
MariaDB [psa]> SELECT REPLACE(sys_users.home,'/var/www/vhosts//','') AS domain, sys_users.login,accounts.password FROM sys_users LEFT JOIN accounts on sys_users.account_id=accounts.id ORDER BY sys_users.home ASC;
+------------------------------+-------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| domain                       | login | password                                                       |
+------------------------------+-------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| /var/www/vhosts/forbidden.sd | ib    | $AES-128-CBC$bNb1T0bBybgFhAkld4thEw==$3gcmtSVPmINbDt2V3xTZKw== |
| /var/www/vhosts/test.tld     | uzza  | $AES-128-CBC$00+89ujGj4+azMpP97O+cg==$vGSO1CwBauYRyybGkCLNdw== |
