Ix web hosting is one of its kind shared web hosting plan that allows you to block FTP access to server. Some other web hosting plan that you found online, are blocking the access to mysql database only, and that is the only thing you can block. Well, thanks to the new server module at ix web hosting that allow user to specifi allow list & deny list to access to their ftp server.
We are using this ix web hosting review account to test the ix web hosting ftp access blocking feature, it is very easily get it right, and managed to setup the ftp.allow & ftp.deny file that list the allow IP address and blocking the remaining other IP address. We allow a range of IP address to access to our ftp account, and only to this group, hence pretenting others from access to the ftp home directory.
Once you uploaded the ftp.allow & ftp.deny files to the ftp home directory, all the ftp user accounts will be restricted by the rules. If you need more IP range to be added to allow list, simple edit the ftp.allow file and upload to server.
“ftp.allow file content as ‘ALL: 50.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ALL: 51.0.0.0/255.0.0.0‘”
“ftp.deny file content as ‘ALL: ALL‘“
With this new feature in place, your ix web hosting account is more secure and safe from malicious attack. You will be safe from hacker that targeting ftp access and their attempt to login and upload virus or spam html code will be blocked & prevented.
