Enable SSH after domain is already set up

I see that there is a way to allow SSH when you set up a domain, but once the domain is already set up, I can't find anywhere to enable it if I didn't initially.. is this possible in the Plesk control panel, or does a support ticket need to be created?

Also, is there any way to get access to the TAR command? It would make things a lot easier when moving files from another host.

In Plesk, go "hosting" "setup" and there is an ssl box in there.

If you want to get files from another host, lodge a support ticket. They can do a wget for you and transfer directly.

I think he meant SSH support for a domain, not SSL.

In this case, only if your main account has chrooted SSH access you will be able to allow/disallow SSH for your domains.

Usually this is not a safe option to allow, but as I said, HostNexus allows SSH in a chrooted environment

In what way is it unsafe?

Unsafe in the way that giving a user access could allow them to wreak havoc on their website? Or unsafe in the way that it's a security risk?

There isn't much you can do with the chrooted ssh connection. I ended up writing little PHP scripts extract tarballs that I created on my previous host because I didn't want to have to keep bothering support to do it for me.
