Access Rules - syntax for blocking all IP addresses

Dominic · Post by **Dominic** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 2:47 pm

Hi - I'm running a registered version of Core FTP, using SSH/SFTP protocol only.

I want to block all IP addresses from connecting except specific IP's for certain authorised users.

I create a DENY rule for IP range *.*.*.* (which I assume deny's everyone), then an ALLOW rule for the specific IP address that I want to give access to.

Thing is, with the above configuration anyone/everyone trying to connect still gets prompted for logon.

Is the *.*.*.* syntax in the DENY rule incorrect or am I misunderstanding the principle of the access rules feature.

thanks...

not sure - it is a recent version (in the last few months)...where can I find the version number in the software?

Thanks - we're on build 183, so I'll put 187 on and see how it goes.
