![]() ![]() The Blacklist is maintained in the WS_FTP Server database and runs in memory whenever the FTP or SSH servers are running. If a previous offender (IP address) tries again, the same IP Lockout Settings apply. So, in most cases, you do not need to keep the IP address in the Blacklist indefinitely. When the connection attempts fail (due to being locked out), the script moves on to another server. You can also specify how long an IP address remains on the blacklist.ĭictionary attacks are usually run by a script, which attempts to make connections randomly. If an IP address meets the criteria it is added to the Blacklist and blocked from further connection attempts. You can set the criteria (connection attempts within a time period) which the IP Lockouts feature uses to block an IP address. WS_FTP Server can monitor connection attempts, identify possible abuse, and deny access to the FTP and SSH servers for the offending IP address.
