Hi there..

When users try to connect from an IP that is not allowed, then users only get

"421 Not logged in, access denied."


Is it possible to tell the user that the IP is denied/banned ?

Maybe with a script or something ?

[Codspirit]

We have this available in scripts :
OnClientBanned : client tried to connect but is banned from domain

Edit:
But :
I is only triggered in "Domain" context.
It can't send messages to Client (or too late). (Post doesn't work as there are no more server messages after)

It seems that the client is disconnected before the message is sent.

Made this script:

CODE

sub OnClientBanned()
    client.send 421, "IP is banned"
end sub

this is the serverlog:

CODE

04/09/28 21:57:25, 23, 172.16.0.2, boost, 421 Not logged in, access denied.
04/09/28 21:57:25, 23, 172.16.0.2, boost, will be disconnected : IP is banned.
04/09/28 21:57:25, 23, 172.16.0.2, boost, 421 IP is banned

And this is the ftp client log

CODE

[21:57:25] 421 Not logged in, access denied.
[21:57:25] Connection failed

Yes, did the same and conclued what I post previously.

Is this still not possible in the new version ?

[Codspirit]

Still.

[Boost]

Too bad

[Codspirit]

Yes ...

But we can see with the developper is this is possible ... there's hope until he said "no"

[Codspirit]

Here is what G.Roger said :

• If you want to send a reason/tell to user why he is banned, just use reason in the ip access list
  
• If your ip access list only has + entries then add a -* entry with a reason[/QUOTE]
  
• If you want to change "Not logged in, access denied" you can do it !
  
  Just edit your domain's settings.ini file and look for the line :
  [Messages]
  (If you can't find it, just add it at the end.)
  Then add these lines :
  msgUnauthorizedAccessWithReason=Not logged in, access denied (%s).
  msgUnauthorizedAccess=Not logged in, access denied.
  Now, you can change the messages to whatever you want. In msgUnauthorizedAccessWithReason, the %s is replaced by the reason.
  
  Ie:
  
  CODE
  [Messages]
  msgUnauthorizedAccessWithReason=IP banned (Reason : %s).
  msgUnauthorizedAccess=IP banned.

This wont work with "*.hostname.com" in the allow list as G6 checks IP's first and that matches * in the disallow list, so the user is denied access all the time

Is it possible to make a script to perm ban an unauthorized ip?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well, for me an "unauthorized ip" IS a perm ban.
Please me more explicit

And I suggest making a new topic for this as it is a little off-topic here.
