  • 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.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Plesk 12.5 sFTP Logging Per User? How?

J.Wick

Regular Pleskian
I've read a lot of tutorials online on how to log sFTP traffic.

What's the best way to accomplish this on Plesk 12.5? I run a pretty secure server and would like to have the file transfer and login logs for compliance. FTP is not allowed on the server for obvious reasons.

Would really be nice to have this built into Plesk.
 
You can define log level in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. Change default line

Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server

to

Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server -l INFO

The various levels (in order of detail) are:
QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3

Thanks Igor, do you know of any way to create individual customer account logs like FTP logs so we can see login and file transfer / manipulation information? Kind of need this for compliance.
