  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

FTP users have access to root directory on server. How to resolve
 
@Raymond_Davelaar, are you sure you're not mistaking server root for root of a chrooted shell? You may check /etc/passwd. How many entries (lines) does it have (please don't paste it here in full)?
 
which ftp server? proftpd? maybe you use sftp? are the users in /etc/passwd set to /bin/false?

/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
DocumentRoot set?
 
the users who are able to see root are granted bin/sh access under FTP settings. They cannot modify files but can read it and download it. Is there a saver way to grant them ssh access?
 
@Raymond_Davelaar, this dirs were added to your webspace after "Web Hosting Access" -> "Access to the server over SSH" was selected as "/bin/bash (chrooted)". They are hardlinks from /var/www/vhosts/chroot/ and no copies or links from your filesystem root (/). You could select another access type at Web Hosting Access to remove this dirs.
