Unable to start migration with one of the following error messages:
PLESK_ERROR: SSH connection to the source server can not be used: there is unexpected output when executing commands. Clean output is required by migrator to execute commands and consume their output, and to run "rsync" tool (for file transfer) which uses SSH connection as transport and does not work if there is any unexpected output.
PLESK_ERROR: Failed to fetch basic information about resellers, clients and domains data from source servers
Cause: Command execution failed on the local server with non-zero exit code.
command: /bin/mkdir -p /root/plesk_migrator
exit code: 1
stdout:
stderr: /bin/mkdir: cannot create directory '/root': Permissions denied
That is a critical error, migration was stopped. -

Cause
A non-root user is specified for migration.
Resolution
Specify the "root" credentials for the source server in order to start a migration. Alternatively, choose to authenticate via SSH keys. For details, refer to Authentication by SSH (Linux).
Note: It is possible to migrate with a non-root user in case of Migrating From a Linux Server With Custom Hosting.
Additional Information
If the article did not help, check root user authentication configuration on the source server as per this article
