Hiya Darkone.

I've got an urgent request that I hope can be implemented into ioftpd without much trouble or (re)-coding. I'm in need of a special device for dir-listing (ASCII-transfers) or a special device just for data transfers excluding the listing. I'll explain in detail:

I've blocked unwanted traffic on switch level (data ports for ioftpd on specified device) thus only allowing "allowed" ips and hosts on site. This is to limit mostly forreign traffic as nothing is free today.

Now - i would like even those to be able to login, list etc without being blocked. I'm only interested in blocking their binary transfers. Is there an easy solution for this?

My first though would be that ioFTPD could use both transfer devices (binary & ascii)

This could be done for both local transfers and FXP (site-to-site)
