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

Set /httpdocs as root for FTP Access?

Is there any way to set /httpdocs as the "root" access via FTP? so that when clients FTP into their account on our server, they cannot leave the /httpdocs folder?

We have a script that publishes client websites via FTP. One of the commands CD .. takes the FTP commands out of /httpdocs and is causing all kinds of problems because all of the website files and directories should be created in the /httpdocs folder only.

Our vendor is telling me that it is standard for /httpdocs to be the only folder accessible via FTP by the client. But if I FTP into a client account I see all of the other default directories that Plesk sets up.

Is there any way I can restrict access to ONLY the /httpdocs folder, so that no matter what CD.. command is used it will redirect only to the /httpdocs folder?

Any advice is welcome, and I'd really like to know if our vendor is correct or if there is something else I'm missing here.

Thanks
