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, the administrators can log in to the server from any IP address. But if you set an allow list, the administrators can only gain access from the IP addresses specified in the list. If you place a deny list, the administrators can have access to the server from any IP address except those specified in the deny list.

For example:

Allow 127.0.0.1

Refuse all users' connections from any IP except 127.0.0.1.

Deny *

Allow 127.0.0.1

Refuse all users' connection from any IP, since 127.0.0.1 after * impacts nothing.

Rule list

The Rule list shows the current record and the order of IP rules. Rules can be added or removed from the list using the Add and Delete buttons.

Also, the order of the rules may be altered using the Up and Down buttons.

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)

Priority

The server's IP Access list has priority over the domain's.
