Some suggested tcp wrappers, which i use, but i still have to allow
"the world" to anon-ftp to our server.
Also a suggestion of a "guest" ftp account. Impractical in our case,
but thanks.
Also a couple suggested wu-ftp. That might be worthy to note, and i will
take a look at it. What might be the best solution is a cgi script that
only allows whatever domains you with to allow access to certain files.
Here it is:
Another possible solution for you would be to make the thing accessible only
via a Web page. If you have an httpd server like NCSA's, it is quite easy
to restrict access to an entire directory only to nodes of a particular
domain, just writing an appropriate .htaccess file. See tutorial in
http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/docs/tutorials/user.html
e.g. this is an example of one of our .htaccess
AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName AllowFromSAX
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from .ifctr.mi.cnr.it
OnDeny
http://sax.ifctr.mi.cnr.it/Xashelp/warning.html
</Limit>
