  • 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.

Personal FTP Backup Password, Security concern

davidonpda

New Pleskian
I am going to reference http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?261298-Backup-password

But start my own thread. I have marked the password protected option for the personal FTP location. I browse to the FTP manually, download the file, and there is no password. My concern, is that none of the files have any encrypted data in them either. I can read in plain text, all the configuration files. In fact, my SSL Certificates are in there with the private keys and everything.

Am I missing something, or does this function clearly not do what I thought that it did? I was anticipating that the files, while stored on FTP, would be secure from being downloaded and the information being compromised. Is it true, that this function ONLY makes it so that someone else cannot simply use the restore function and upload my config into their plesk panel?
