    It is extremely important to add the functionality of providing SSH access to third-party users for a particular folder, like /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/ or /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/dir1
    Reason #1: FTP is insecure
    Reason #2: FTP nor FTPs is supported by the Cloudflare proxy
    Reason #3: For security reasons, third-party developers do not need root access (Plesk's current configuration). Highly productive teams need to delegate tasks to DevOps for specific directories and admins are subjected to data leakage when bypassing Cloudflare to connect via FTP in these highly productive environments.
    Reason: #4: Connecting a web app located in a specific directory to a third-party API using SSH via Plesk is unavailable.

    Ideal Solutions:
    Solution #1: Cloudflare enables a solution to proxy FTPs. or
    Solution #2: Plesk implements a solution for directory-specific SSH like FTPs.

    Non-ideal solutions:
    Non-ideal Solution #1: Advise customers to stop using Cloudflare or configure their DNS to bypass it for FTP. (This exposes their origin IP)
    Non-ideal Solution #2: Create multiple subscriptions for customers.
    Non-ideal Solution #3: Customers consider migrating their site to the sole use of GCP or AWS by dividing the site into individual projects. Configuring SSH connectivity for individual projects via Cloud platforms is very simple and easy and customers can continue using Cloudflare. This is a growing trend. Hopefully, Plesk can provide a solution to combat this loss of customers.

    Despite my extensive research, I may be overlooking a current solution. If so, please provide the resource.
