How would i block an IP range in Proftpd?
I would like to block say from aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd - aaa.bbb.eee.fff
I know that you put it under <Limit LOGON> but how would you type it out in a correct format?
Thanks.
I don't want to add it to Iptables becasue i still want to SSH into the server but i do not want those IPs to be able to access my FTP server.

I have no experience with ProFTPD, but I thought I would mention that you can make the iptables rules apply specifically to the FTP server - so that they don't affect your SSH or anything else. Example:
Is there a more permanent solution to this? As everytime i restart i see that i have to re-add the rule into IPtables. Shoud i just toss this in rc.local then?
