How do I make more commands available to users in Shell?

Currently only a small amount of commands are available to Shell users. I would like to add in wget or lynx for them. How can I do so? Thank you.

Give them something like /bin/bash
in the "Shell access to server with FTP user's credentials"

Ooops, I meant to reply and instead opened a new thread to this topic.

The thing is I wanted a chrooted shell instead of having the user able to cd around the server.

If Shell is set to /bin/bash, the user can even run commands like rpm and locate etc. I don't wish to have that happening. Rather I would like to have commands like tar, wget available in the chroot environment.

I am not sure if it is alright to just copy the /bin/wget into /var/www/vhosts/chroot/bin

Here ya go:

Chrooted shell provides limited functionality only, it only allows to
use very common commands such as `cp`, `mv`, `mkdir` and so on. `tar` is not included into chrooted shell as well as a lot of other system
utilities. You can check /home/httpd/vhosts/chroot for details.

If you want to add more files to chroot for all the domains, you can copy
them to the appropriate subfolder in /home/httpd/vhosts/chroot and run two
commands:

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/chrootmng --remove --source=/home/httpd/vhosts/chroot --target=all

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/chrootmng --create --source=/home/httpd/vhosts/chroot --target=all

Hmm, I just tried this with wget and I get this now:
bash-2.05b$ wget
wget: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Oh ok, thanks! Isn't there a better Plesk documentation, the knowledge base still doesn't really explain what the command does etc. There should be a pro plesk administrator documentation.

 

[tnats@]

If you get it work, let me know. My wget doesn't work.

You will need to copy the require libs into the chroot/lib folder as well.

Here is what I did

cp /lib/libssl.so.* /var/www/vhosts/chroot/lib/

Then just recreate using chrootmng.

it works, thanks!
