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 contained 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
*
