Assuming you already have an existing domain (example.com) with the primary FTP user (foo) with home directory (\/var\/www\/vhosts\/example.com), and you wish to create additional ftp users (bar) with the same access privileges as foo to subfolder like this \/var\/www\/vhosts\/example.com\/sub_folder (make sure the folder already exists) or to main folder (\/var\/www\/vhosts\/example.com). To do this follow the instructions below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Login to shell with root access and issue this command:
    \n# id foo<\/code>
    \nit will show something like that:
    \n# uid=10013(foo) gid=2524(psacln) groups=2524(psacln)<\/code><\/li>\n
  2. remember the uid of “foo” which is 10013, we will need it later.<\/li>\n
  3. create user via the command below and use foo’s uid like this (this will let “bar” access subfolder):
    \n# \/usr\/sbin\/useradd -u 10013 -o -d \/var\/www\/vhosts\/example.com\/sub_folder -g psacln -s \/bin\/false bar<\/code><\/li>\n
  4. create password for bar:
    \n# \/etc\/passwd bar<\/code> (enter the new password and confirm it, does not have to be the same as foo\u2019s)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You should now be able to use an FTP client to login with that user\u2019s name and password. This is the only good solution for Plesk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
