FTPUSERS(5) BSD File Formats Manual FTPUSERS(5)NAME
/etc/ftpusers — FTP access list file
DESCRIPTION
/etc/ftpusers contains a list of users that should be allowed or denied
FTP access. Each line contains a user, optionally followed by “allow”
(anything but “allow” is ignored). The semi-user “*” matches any user.
Users that has an explicit “allow”, or that does not match any line, are
allowed access. Anyone else is denied access.
Note that this is compatible with the old format, where this file con‐
tained a list of users that should be denied access.
EXAMPLES
This will deny anyone but “foo” and “bar” to use FTP:
foo allow
bar allow
*
