Enable chrooted sftp for more than one user per account
If I use FTP, I can make as many users as I want. For various reasons, using FTP is not optimal at my workplace. I'd like to be able to let each ftp user I create log in with chrooted sftp.
I'm able to modify /etc/passwd and /var/www/vhosts/example.org/etc/passwd to make it work, but doing that manually kind of defeats the point of using a tool like Plesk...
Specifically, I give the ftp user the same home directory, and shell as the initial sftp user has in each passwd file.

This is a valid request, so we’ll look into it. There is no ETA at the moment, but we would really appreciate you voting for this request so that we can accurately assess its popularity relative to other features.
The original request contains a manual solution, so, we consider to automate it. Please, add a comment if your case will not be solved with that solution.
Thanks in advance!

Come on Plesk! listen to the features that people are crying out for.... This is a must have in this day and age! This request has been open for nearly two years and still not implemented

Please implement this! The workaround is working, however, users added this way can see all the domains on the server... They cannot access them, but still see them. And this is a risk.
Thanks

This really needs to be implemented asap as we have clients starting to (correctly) not let us use the FTP protocol as it's insecure.

Ill up vote this update... we are losing security by allowing FTP connections.... so as to have multiple accounts per domain

I'd also like to see this happen. Personally I'd like it if there was a separate button next to FTP Access e.g. SFTP Users with the option to set the home directory for each user.
https://snag.gy/HK4ZFT.jpgThere would also need to be a limit on subscription level to how many SFTP users can be created to ensure reasonable usage.
Then developers would benefit a lot by being able to use sshfs.
There seems to be a related request as well https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/5030867-enable-chrooted-sftp-for-more-than-one-user-per-ac

Allow for multiple SFTP users in domain FTP management. Currently only one SFTP can be created per domain which then forces all additional FTP accounts to only be FTP users.
