OpenSSH server support in Plesk for Windows
SFTP (FTP over SSH protocol) Support would come in handy for users who want a more secure way to transfer their files to and from their hosting account. We, as a hosting company, have received many requests for a more secure way to handle file transfers than the classic FTP(S) protocol on Windows Server.
Newer versions of Windows have built-in OpenSSH server functionality, I think it would be nice to integrate this in the Plesk end-user Panel in a way that users can use SFTP with their account username and (maybe?) configure SSH keys for their accounts for a more secure way to connect.
Also, as an admin, it would be nice to a SSH server configuration interface where you can enable/disable password authentication, set custom SSH port a.s.o.

Thank you for your suggestion. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.
