How to switch publication from FTP to SSH?
By default builder publishes websites on Plesk using FTP connection. To switch it to SSH connection, take the following steps:

  1. log in to Plesk admin account
  2. go to "Extensions" -> "My Extensions" page
  3. click "Open" button next to Site Builder extension
  4. activate option "Allow publication via SSH".

* Builder will use SSH connection only for those customers who have SSH access enabled in their accounts.

If you get error "FTP passive mode error" during website publication, you need to configure FTP passive mode on your Plesk server. Follow this guide: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/server-administration/plesk-for-linux-configuring-passive-ftp-mode.74643/
