Configure IP access rules to allow or deny access for the entire server.

You can define IP access rules to allow/deny users' access based on IP address for the entire server.

If you do not specify an IP address, all the users can logon to the server from any IP address. But if you set allowed rules, the users can only obtain access by IP addresses specified in the allowed rules. If you set denied rules, the users can have access to the server by any IP address except those specified in the denied rules.

For example:

Allow 127.0.0.1

Refuse connections from any IP except 127.0.0.1.

Supported wildcards

Wing FTP Server supports IP address ranges and wildcards, which are listed as below:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

IP address must be exactly matched(e.g., 192.168.1.1).

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-yyy

A specified range of IP addresses, e.g. 192.168.1.10-25.

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

A specified range of IP addresses, e.g. 192.168.1.0-192.168.5.255.

*.*.*.* or xxx.*.*.* or xxx.xxx.*.* or xxx.xxx.xxx.*

Any valid IP address value (For example, 192.168.*.* represents any IP between 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.255.255).

CIDR convention is also supported :

192.168.0.0/24 (represents any IP between 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.0.255)
