Restricting Ftp access to a name and host

[Steve Hart]

What I want to do is restrict access to a named ftp account from a known host.

for example:
I would wish to block
ftp user Y from host A accessing the system
and at the same time allowing
ftp user X from host A to access the system.

Any ideas
Steve

I have check the man page and cannot see how this will help with my specific requirements.

also a quick search on ftpaccess will yield a lot of results.

Harry,

I already have restricted the access to the server using ftpaccess, and /usr/bin/false etc.

What I want to do is tie down an account to a specific IP address. but not deny access to other ftp accounts on the server from that same ip address.

See

specifically

You should also look at
http://www.wu-ftpd.org/man/ftphosts.html
or
man ftphosts

To achieve this you can create /etc/ftpd/ftphosts with the following line.

deny usery hosta
