• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be 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.

Setting up chroot enviroment with scponlyc.

New Pleskian
Hello,


I'm trying to give my clients a chroot scponly shell for sftp access, the only way I found to do this in plesk currently isn't very clean and was wondering if there was a better way.

The way I'm currently doing it.

1) Adding scponlyc to /etc/shells.
2) Setting the user's shell to "/bin/bash (chroot)"
3) from the cli either editing the /etc/passwd file to /usr/sbin/scponlyc from /usr/local/psa/bin/chrootsh or running a usermod command to change the shell.

What I basically need to know is if there is a way to create the chroot directories for the users without setting the shell to "/bin/bash (chroot)" first.

OS and plesk versions:

OS: Centos 6
Plesk: 10.3


Thank you for your time.
