The Plesk Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a powerful way to manage your Plesk server.
To generate a URL for logging into Plesk via SSH, use:
plesk login
Note: In Plesk, the root directory is /usr/local/psa/, and the web directory for a domain is usually /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/, where example.com is the domain name.
plesk bin poweruser
Power User mode provides access to additional server management features and utilities.
