vsftp, block by ip address?

[prophotodx]

Hello, I have a local ftp server hosted at my home, and I noticed there is someone probably running a script and hitting my ftp server, vsftpd, about every 2-3 seconds. Is there a way to block this guy by his ip?

Thanx...

vsftp can't do this by itself, but if you're using tcp wrappers it can be done.

...and how would a noob set that up?

In /etc/hosts.deny:

vsftpd: ip.address ip.address
