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.

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.
