Hello, From my use of FTP over SSL -- the whole connection including Command channel and Data channel is encrypted so you can not filter text in the Command channel. Plus if the IP is used as a access rule ? why also require the user name ?? which can easily be hacked if only the Data channel is encrypted. Michael.
