• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Server root ftp

How can I upload an index file to the server's root so that if the ip address is entered it displays the page rather than the server's default page. I have tried accessing the server using the admin username and password using ftp and it won't let me in.
 
Well...
#1
you could enable root login for ftp in the proftpd.conf but that is not exactly recommended.
#2
you could ssh to the server cd to the dir and wget it from somewhere or create the index.html from there.
#3
what I recommend. Using the control panel.
A domain can be set as default for an IP on the Server > IP Addresses page. Click on the number in the "Hosting" column on this page opposite of needed IP address. Then choose the domain you wish to be default one. And push "Set As Default" link.

So when the ip address is requested the client is sent to the default domain chosen for that ip...
 
Thanks for that. I used your recommended option and it worked a treat!
