  • Plesk Control Panel
  • IIS 7 or 7.5

Solution:

  1. Connect to your server using RDP
  2. Connect to SQL Server using Microsft Management Studio Express
  3. Expend Datatbases
  4. Expand Plesk Database
  5. Expend Tables
  6. Right Click on dbo.domains and Click Edit  Top 200 Rows
  7. Check if your domain "Status" has any other status than 0, if the status is already set to 2, 4, 16, 64, 256 set it ot "0".
  8. Close the table and recreate the FTP Account in Plesk Control Panel.
  9. Now try to connect your FTP site. You should be able to login and browse site's Files and Folders.
