Does the user 'gv' have uid 10000 in both /etc/passwd and /var/www/vhosts/domain/etc/passwd?
Hostasaurus.Com, Yes.
/etc/passwd looks like: gv:x:10000:505::/var/www/vhosts/altrisinc.com/dev:/usr/local/psa/bin/chrootsh
/var/www/vhosts/altrisinc.com/etc/passwd looks like: gv:x:10000:505::/dev:/bin/bash
This is as per TSCADFX's blog post.
TSCADFX,
Just double checked, the subscription's SSH access is set to /bin/bash (chrooted)
Well everything looks correct. It's sometimes hard to diagnose things that aren't on your server because you don't have access to the machine, don't know what has been side-updated etc.
Can you try logging in with an SSH Terminal (i.e. Putty) with that username and password and see what happens? (To eliminate SCP issues)
Have you upgraded PAM outside of Plesk or have you had any PAM issues on this box?
Can you pastebin or post your /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

I know you guys are trying and really I do appreciate it!
I have an sshd_config and ssh_config file in /etc/ssh/
To log into the server, I've been using Terminal on my MacBook.
Just googled PAM (because I had no idea what it was). I don't think I've upgraded it or had any issues otherwise.

Isaac,
I'm not asking you how you log into the server I'm asking if you can log into the server via SSH using the username gv? I'm also not asking if you can SFTP using the username gv. Using a SSH terminal can you log in? The same way you would with root.
Did you happen to add the user to /sbin/nologin on accident?

Looking at the SSH logs (below) it appears that the server accepts the password, but then immediately disconnects user 'gv'. I also included the logs from root as well.
Here is the log when user 'gv' logs in.

It appears that user 'gv' can log in, only to be disconnected right after. Here are the logs for both gv and then root.
I took a look at /sbin/nologin but only saw gibberish.

The reason the client session is terminated is because it doesn't see that the userid is in the list allowing it to access the chrooted environment. This is by design and there's nothing in the debug that's surprising.
The question is why if you have added permissions for that userid to access the chrooted environment is it not allowing it to do so.
Without spending time on the server itself there's really nothing more that I can think of.
I would delete the user account, create another one, and test again. Make sure it has a different username.

Many, many thanks to TSCADFX and Hostasaurus.Com for your time in helping me debug the issue. There seems to be some issue with the webspace I was trying to create an additional SFTP user for. The steps outlined work for the other webspaces I tried. Not exactly sure what is wrong.
