  • 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.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Resolved How can I list FTP users on the machine and change a password?

Basic Pleskian
Hi,

I need to get back into an FTP account that customer has no record of. Plesk is down so has to be SSH. How can I do this? I'm guessing the process is something obvious like 1.list users 2. change password for specific user?

I'm on CentOS 7.4

Passwords are crypted in Plesk database. But you can get list of ftp users and crypted passwords with something like:

Code:
# plesk db
MariaDB [psa]> SELECT REPLACE(sys_users.home,'/var/www/vhosts//','') AS domain, sys_users.login,accounts.password FROM sys_users LEFT JOIN accounts on sys_users.account_id=accounts.id ORDER BY sys_users.home ASC;
+------------------------------+-------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| domain                       | login | password                                                       |
+------------------------------+-------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| /var/www/vhosts/forbidden.sd | ib    | $AES-128-CBC$bNb1T0bBybgFhAkld4thEw==$3gcmtSVPmINbDt2V3xTZKw== |
| /var/www/vhosts/test.tld     | uzza  | $AES-128-CBC$00+89ujGj4+azMpP97O+cg==$vGSO1CwBauYRyybGkCLNdw== |
