Configuring File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers

Denying access to hosts

To deny access to users from certain host addresses:

  1. In the FTP Server Manager, select View -> Denied hosts.

  2. To define new denied hosts, select Edit -> Add.

    To modify existing denied hosts, click on the address pattern from those displayed, then select Edit -> Modify.

  3. Enter the following information for the denied host address:

    Address
    An IP address or domain name which defines the host(s) that are to be denied access. You can use the character ``*'' to replace any element of an address. For example, ``*'' would match all addresses, ``*.mynet.com'' would deny access to any host in the domain mynet.com, and ``200.25.*.*'' would deny access to any host having an IP address that begins 200.25.

    Deny unresolvable address
    Deny access to users from any host whose IP address cannot be resolved into a domain name.

    Message file
    (Optional) The pathname of a message file that will be displayed to a user if they are denied access. Click on Select to choose the file using a file browser.

  4. Click on OK to accept.
