Strange folders in user home folder

MarwinH

New Pleskian
Hi All,

I am using the panel-version: 11.5.30 Update #32

The server Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS was installed new recently.

All domains show a normal user home folder structure:

/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/error_docs
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/httpdocs
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/logs
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/mivadata

but one domain got some strange folders I wonder about:
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/bin
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/dev
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/etc
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/lib
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/tmp
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/usr
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/var

Most of those folders contain system files owned by the root user.

Is there a good reason for the existence of those folders?

So far I have not done any modification to the server.

Regards and thanks
 
The following files...

/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/bin
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/dev
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/etc
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/lib
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/tmp
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/usr
/var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/var

are there because the subscription has one of...

allow-ssh.png

enabled I believe.

Change in..

Plesk -> Subscriptions -> domain.tld -> Customize -> Permissions.

I hope that helps.
 
Sorry for replying on a old topic, but i'm running into the same problem.
How to remove this files after they are created? I didn't intentionally change something to enable this chrooted shell access.
In the Subscriptions they are also on "Not allowed".

You could try to activate the feature and deactivate it afterwards, in order to force Plesk to create and to delete additional folders needed by the feature.
