Banning IP Addresses from Remote Administration

By default, all IP addresses are granted remote access to EFT Server. EFT Server allows you to grant access to only one specific IP address or a range of IP addresses, or deny access to one specific address or a range of addresses. EFT Server can control TCP/IP access at EFT Server, Site, or Settings Template, or per user.

To grant/deny access by IP Address

  1. In the Administrator, connect to EFT Server and click the Server tab.

  2. In the left pane, click the Server node that you want to configure.

  3. In the right pane, click the Administration tab.

  4. Next to IP ban/access list for remote administration, click Configure. The IP Access/Ban List dialog box appears.

  5. The IP Access/Ban List dialog box displays the IP addresses that are granted or denied access to EFT Server.

  6. Click granted access or denied access, then click Add. The IP Mask dialog box appears.

  7. Specify the IP address or range of IP addresses to deny or grant access to the Site. You can use wildcards to select ranges of IP addresses.

  8. Click OK to close the IP Mask dialog box. The IP address/mask appears in the exceptions list.

  9. Click OK to close the IP Access/Ban List dialog box.
