ftpd.deny(4M)                   TCP/IP 5.4.2                   ftpd.deny(4M)


NAME
       ftpd.deny - File to disallow incoming FTP sessions for particular
       login names

DESCRIPTION
       The ftpd.deny file, located in the /etc directory, gives system
       administrators the ability to control File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
       access to their systems.

       If an administrator wants to deny ftp(1C) access to a particular
       user, that user's login name should be entered into the ftpd.deny
       file.  When that user attempts to ftp(1C) into the system, the ftp
       daemon ftpd(1M) scans the ftpd.deny file, finds the user's login
       name, and denies access to that user.

       The anonymous login name is checked before the ftpd.deny file, so it
       is not possible to disallow anonymous access using this file.  If you
       want to disallow anonymous access, you should remove the username ftp
       from the /etc/passwd file.

       Entries in the file should be user login names, each name on a
       separate line.  Names should not be preceded or followed by white
       space.  Comment lines must have a "#" at the beginning of the line.

FILES
