Hallo!
i am quite new to server administration. I have Plesk 7.5 and want to create many permissions for folders, but it takes almost half an hour to make 50 entries for the same user
The same thing when i have to remove the user again.. >_<
Is there a way to accelerate this procedure?

I am managing just a VServer via browser access from a PC (Windows). I was advised to use the command line, unfortunately i cant find it.

Thanks!

To find the command line, you need to use SSH to connect and login to the server. I use the free version available at ssh.com

As to making the permissions on folders for a user, you could write a script and set it to execute in Plesk's Event Manager upon user creation. If you have never written either a bash or php script, then you have a bit of learning to do, or you could find/pay someone to write it for you.
