Step 1
If you and other users have a static IP address, protect your FTP server by adding a.ftpaccess file to its root directory. Open its editing using the standard Notepad program and specify the following parameters: Allow from XX. XX. XX. XX Deny from all. Replace XX. XX. XX. XX with the IP address of your computer.
Step 2
If you want to protect your FTP server by adding exceptions for some other users with static addresses, write their details on a new line. Please note that before performing the procedure, it is imperative to change the password for the FTP server.
Step 3
Protect your FTP server using alternative methods, for example, use a long meaningless password for it, consisting of Latin letters of different heights mixed with numbers and punctuation marks. Do not memorize it in the browser, it is better to save it to a text file and use the "Copy / Paste" functions when entering.
Step 4
Try to enter it as little as possible on your computer to avoid hacking using programs that catch keystrokes. Such programs are much more common than those that track passwords from the clipboard, this is also important to consider when storing a password.
Step 5
Block access to your FTP server for users with foreign IP addresses, if possible in your case. This method will help you avoid hacking the server using a proxy, but it is not always convenient to use, since it can often be accessed from any country.
Step 6
Install network scanning security software on your server and try to keep spyware out of your computer.
