• Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is 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.

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.
