ftphosts(4) File Formats ftphosts(4)NAMEftphosts - FTP Server individual user host access file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ftpd/ftphosts
DESCRIPTION
The ftphosts file is used to allow or deny access to accounts from
specified hosts. The following access capabilities are supported:
allow username addrglob [addrglob...]
Only allow users to login as username from host(s) that match addr‐
glob.
deny username addrglob [addrglob...]
Do not allow users to login as username from host(s) that match
addrglob.
A username of * matches all users. A username of anonymous or ftp spec‐
ifies the anonymous user.
addrglob is a regular expression that is matched against hostnames or
IP addresses. addrglob may also be in the form address:netmask or
address/CIDR, or be the name of a file that starts with a slash ('/')
and contains additional address globs. An exclamation mark (`!') placed
before the addrglob negates the test.
The first allow or deny entry in the ftphosts file that matches a user‐
name and host is used. If no entry exists for a username, then access
is allowed. Otherwise, a matching allow entry is required to permit
access.
EXAMPLES
You can use the following ftphosts file to allow anonymous access from
any host except those on the class A network 10, with the exception of
10.0.0.* IP addresses, which are allowed access:
allow ftp 10.0.0.*
deny ftp 10.*.*.*
allow ftp *
10.0.0.* can be written as 10.0.0.0:255.255.255.0 or 10.0.0.0/24.
