Issue PCI compliance fails due to lack of SFTP support

[Joe Payne]

Has anyone successfully implemented SFTP and can still manage FTP accounts within Plesk?

Our systems require PCI compliance. And for specific reasons we cannot use native FTPS, we must use SFTP.

It is not possible to use SFTP in Plesk for Windows as SFTP only used on Linux environment.

SFTP abbreviation is often mistakenly used to specify some kind of Secure FTP, by which people most often mean FTPS (secure FTP). Also, SFTP is thought to be some kind of FTP over SSL. In fact, SFTP is an abbreviation of “SSH File Transfer Protocol”. This is neither FTP over SSL, nor FTP over SSH (which is also technically possible, but very rare).
