How do I add a FTP user for my domain?

[ValentinS]

I need a FTP user with access to httpdocs/folder
How do I add it?

 

[Nataliya Zagr]

Hello,

Please, follow the path:

Domains > domain_name > Setup

There at the account Preferences it is possible to set/change ftp user login/password.

I don't need to change FTP password.
I need to add another FTP user with access to specific folder. How do I do that?

As we understood you want to add additional FTP user to your domain.
Unfortunately this option is not available for the Parallels Plesk Control Panel (PPCP) for Linux.
You can find more information about this option for the PPCP for Windows in the following article:

Hello,

ValentinS

There is a solution, which is to create a subdomain.

As you create a new subdomain, you will be able to create a new ftp user for it.

Obviously this ftp user will have exclusive access to the subdomain, not the whole domain.

Hope this helps.

Hello ivanradisson,

great idea. This is a work-around for several situations in my case!

Nonetheless it's a much needed feature to be able to add ftp users for different sub-folders within one domain.

Best regards,
Alexander

I agree. How is this not an option when it is such a commonly needed function?! I am shocked and amazed to find this functionality missing from Plesk.

Hello. This is kinda of an old thread, which I just recently came across. Nonetheless, for future references, here's the answer:

Yes, correct that this option is not available for Plesk Linux. Major limitation. So, here's the workaround: http://www.diademblogs.com/linux/creation-of-additional-ftp-users-for-plesk-linux

Good luck.

I'm also trying to do this in plesk9.3

It's plainly ridiculous. Creating a ftp user is so simple that it can't be a missing feature.
I didn't know that before buying plesk. Now I know it for the future.
