FTP Network Security
Applies To: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012
Use FTP Network Security to configure login security parameters and protect your FTP server from network-based attacks. This feature enables you to deny access to an IP address based on a specified number of failed login attempts. However, you can, if desired, configure your site to log the failed login attempts without denying access.
