  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Question What is the difference between options 'Access to the server over SSH' parameter in Plesk?

hello @FutureX ,

in case chroot access granted, user will be able to access only files in his/her web space directory.
in case shell granted with sh/bash/tcsh/etc - user will have access to the whole server's file system (like /home , /var/ , /tmp/ and many other)
so yes, if you really necessarry to grant shell access with very limited access and strong restrictions - chroot is your choice.

also, please have in view, that even you did not grant shell access - subscription users will have access to their files with FTP protocol.
so, they will be able to download/upload/modify their files inside web space.
 
Thanks for the info! The main reason I want to give SSH access is so users can use the WordPress CLI.
