• 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.

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?
