Issue No STFP to Web Root

JONEBARKER

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
Obsidian 18.0.53 Update #2
I can connect to SFTP via root to the server, but I cannot connect a domain-specific SFTP account.

- I checked firewall rules and connections are allow from all.
- I created the accounts on the domain level.
- I checked to ensure the service is running.

This s a freshly installed server (IONOS VPS), so I don't know why it just doesn't work when I go through the proper steps in Plesk.
 
This was not enabled in my subscription, so I did that as described. Still no access except for root via IP address. No access for root or created users via domain.

I found that in /etc/ssh/ssh_config file, PasswordAuthentication is set to yes, but the line commented out.
Also in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, PasswordAuthentication is set to no.

Not sure I should change this because root can log in with password.
 
PasswordAuthentication can both be set to "yes". You need to restart sshd after the change.
