Root FTP - Master FTP account

[HJ-James]

Is there a way through Plesk to create an FTP master account? I simply would like one FTP acct that can easily get to any file within my /vhosts/ directory.

I know nothing about *nix, but SSHed in and issued the following command:

useradd -u 10101 -o -d /var/www/vhosts/ -g psacln -s /bin/false masterFTP

And that did allow me to log in to the /vhosts/ directory, but alas, I was locked out of the /httpdocs/ of the domains.

On other message boards I have seen people say.. "this question has been asked so many times.." and even some who say.. "well that's easy, but..." but, still no proof that a solution exists.

If there is a man who walks this earth who knows how create a master FTP account in PLESK, I'd be in awe of his knowledge. Please share!

Oh, and if there's a security risk with that.. I'm okay with it.

James,

If it will not affect your security policy, you can just remove root from /etc/ftpusers and use root account for access via FTP to any vhost.

Remove root from /etc/ftpusers

Hello,

I've added the account the same way but how do i remove it? where do i find the /etc/ftpusers file? trought ssh?

The account works but the same problem, i can't access httpdocs folders.

Thanx
