    Good evening.
    I have decided to completely remove FTP/FTPS from our servers, as it's too high a security risk these days and instead replacing it with SFTP users and jailkit, for the few that actually needs it.
    But how would I go about removing the FTP options from the sidepanel in Sites in ispconfig? I mean I could just remove it in /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/sites/menu.php but I don't like that type of hack.
    Any good advice here?

    I don't think there's such an option at this time. It would have to be implemented (which is not a bad idea).

    Just make sure you're customers can't create FTP users by setting it to 0 in the customer's limits.
    It won't remove it from the sidepanel but when they try to create a user they'll see they can't (use FTP).
