Question SFTP - stop access to folders/files above the main path root

[weareimpulse]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.66 Update #2

hi, i;ve just had an IT company point out to me that, when i gave them some space to upload some files to a sepcific website, they could click upwards in the folder path, accessing the folders of the server, and although they couldn't access the other client on the server, they could see all of our other clients in the vhosts folder.
If i give out FTP details for a specfic client, i only want the details to give access to that client... nowhere else...


Any help or advise would be great!

thanks - Tim

Did you add the additional FTP user via Plesk?
