Use a text editor to specify the definition file (FTPHOSTACC.INF) according to the following method:

Begin by specifying a definition name, and then specify values on the following lines. If you specify multiple values, make sure that you specify only one value on each line. Any characters following a hash mark (#) through a linefeed are treated as a comment.

The following table lists and describes the definition names and values that can be specified.

Table 3-11 Definition names and values that can be specified in the definition file (FTPHOSTACC.INF)

Definition name Description Value

[allow_list] Specifies hosts whose connection is to be permitted. IP address or host name

[deny_list] Specifies hosts whose connection is to be rejected. IP address or host name

Example

Definition name	Description	Value
[allow_list]	Specifies hosts whose connection is to be permitted.	IP address or host name
[deny_list]	Specifies hosts whose connection is to be rejected.	IP address or host name

(3) Notes

If there is no definition file, connection is permitted from all hosts.

If there is a definition file but it does not contain any valid definitions, connection requests from all hosts are rejected.

A connection request from a host that is not specified in the definition file or a host that is specified in both [allow_list] and [deny_list] is rejected.
