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.
