Context
server config, <Anonymous>, <VirtualHost>, <Global>
Module
mod_auth
Compatibility
0.99.0 and later
Legacy FTP servers generally check a special authorization file (typically /etc/ftpusers) when a client attempts to authenticate. If the user's name is found in this file, FTP access is denied. For compatibility sake, proftpd defaults to checking this file during authentication. This behavior can be suppressed using the UseFtpUsers configuration directive.
