Ftp restrict session to IP-address

[rneve]

Hi,
Is it possible to permit a specific IP-address access to the ftpd deamon, and all other IP-address are not allowed to ftp to the AIX server?

Try TCP Wrappers.

I can't help you set it up, as I never have (I do IPF on BSD myself)

Previous response it correct - obtain and install tcp_wrappers which then allows you to define the IP's that are allowed to use ftp (or other programs as defined) via the /etc/hosts.allow file.

Free, simple, easy, worth the little effort and a great policing tool.

Following the thread, I've managed to download the TCP files and abel to install it. My question is, how do I configure and run the application.


Thanks in advance

Hi rneve!

Nice, that you found the docs for this software.

Can you give me a hint, where I can find some documentation
about configuring the program??????

Thanx in advance.

Forget my last posting.

A look into: /usr/local/lib/tcp_wrappers-7.6/README
seems to be useful.

Bye!
