  • 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.

Batch FTP Account Creation and Batch Subdomain Creation

TLMartin

New Pleskian
Hi

I have to potential issues that I would like to see if its possible to do in a batch job

I have a dedicated server with the Parallels Plesk Panel. It is a managed server as I am not very Linux Friendly and I don't do much server administration with web servers.

I have a number of domains on the server for different clients.

I have had a request from a client for some webspace, a main domain and a lot of subdomains/useraccounts
Essentially 1200 Sub Domains for the domain and 1200 FTP accounts. Each specific FTP account linked the specific subdomain.
This would take a long time to do manually, so I was wondering if there is a way to do this like uploading a CSV to get it to be done in a batch.

Essentially Step 1
Create 1200 subdomains (6 planet names each followed by a number from 001-200, i.e. mars150)
Each subdomain to have its own folder in the webspace

Is there anyway to process this as a batch job?

Essentially Step 2
Create 1200 FTP accounts with a single password (each username the same as the subfolder name)
Each account linked to their specific subfolder

Is there anyway to process this as a batch job? (would it be easier to have different passwords for each?)


Finally is there anyway the user can change their password wihtout going into the control panel, afterall its only an FTP account being made not an access to the Plesk Website&Domain Panel

Any help gratefully appreciated

Tris
