ftphosts - ftpd individual user host access file


Description

       The  ftphosts file is used to allow or deny access to cer­
       tain accounts from various hosts.


Access Capabilities

       allow <username> <addrglob> [<addrglob> ...]
            Only allow host(s) matching <addrglob> to log  in  as
            <username>.

       deny <username> <addrglob> [<addrglob> ...]
            Always  deny host(s) matching <addrglob> to log in as
            <username>.

       A username of anonymous or  ftp  specifies  the  anonymous
       user.

       The <addrglob> may be also be specified as address/cidr or
       address:netmask.     For    example:     10.0.0.0/8     or
       10.0.0.0:255.0.0.0

       NOTE VERY CAREFULLY:

       The  last  rule which matches is the default rule.  So, to
       allow a user to login from anywhere  _except_  the  listed
       hosts,  you need both allow and deny rules.  The following
       example denies the user hacked from logging  in  from  the
       host 10.1.2.3, but allows login from all other hosts.

       deny hacked 10.1.2.3 allow hacked *
