set user to connect to a specific IP address

[AGIMIS]

Dear All,
I would like to control ftp login via a spefic IP address only. Can some experts help me on this? TQVM

if your purpose is to authorize ftp from only on IP you can have a look to tcpd ( tcp wrapper ).

Why would you want to do this?

at this point of thread, the question is not clear:

1) your server has only an IP-address and you want
that only spcified clients can access to it

2) your srv may have more than 1 address (more than 1
adapter or aliases on 1 card) and you want that any client
(or a subset of them) may have access only to 1 of server
ip address.

In case (1), for ftp, exists files that allow/deny client
to connect server (it does not exist for telnet)

In case (2) ip/filtering may be used (is not easy)

bye

perhaps i'm wrong but tcpd also works for telnet, it works for evrything you can launch by inetd.

for case 2) you could use proftpd and the virtual hosting .
in fact i think that witch proftpd ( and perhaps others ftp servers ) you can solve point 1) and 2).


bye.

Sorry for the confusion- I am new to aix
What i want is for security control. The ftp session can only be executed from one fix work station. No one should use ftp via vpn to our production server.
Hope I have made myself clear. TQ
