Creating additional FTP user in Plesk
This is the easy way to add an additional FTP user under Plesk,
but this tip need root privileges.
1 – Login to plesk
2 – Click on domain name
3 – Click on Webusers then add a new webuser.
In my case I’ve created new user called : user2

4 – Now run putty or whatever you use to connect via SSH and login as ROOT
5 – Edit /etc/passwd with your favorite editor (GNU nano)
pico /etc/passwd
5 – Find your first FTP user (default FTP user)

6 – Go to user2 line and change UID value by “default FTP user UID”
7 – Change “absolute path for the new user” too.
![]()
8 – Save modification. (CTRL+X then Y for putty users)
9 – Done… try login with your new user.
