The body of the screen consists of three fields, starting with an Opt field for entering options. Each line refers to a single user or group and its authorities for outgoing Client FTP connections.

The User Group/User* field contains the name of a user or group. This can also be a generic* name. The value *PUBLIC refers to all users or groups for whom no more specific information is shown.

The Outgoing IP addresses and authorities field contains a list of IP address ranges and authorities, shown as the address range, a dash, and either the digit 1 to allow FTP requests or 2 to reject them.

Thus, for example, a value of *ALL-2, 1.1.1.105-1 shows that all outgoing Client FTP requests are rejected, except those from the IP address 1.1.1.105, which are allowed.

You can perform the following actions from this screen:

To add information for a user or group, press the F6 key. The Add FTP Client User screen appears, as shown in Adding a User for Outgoing FTP Connections.

To modify information for a user or group, enter 1 in the Opt field for that user or group. The Modify FTP Client User screen appears, as shown in Modifying a User for Outgoing FTP Connections.

To copy information from one user or group to another, enter 3 in the Opt field for the original user or group. The Copy FTP Client User screen appears, as shown in Copying a User for Outgoing FTP Connections.

To delete information for a user or a group, enter 4 in the Opt field for the user or group. The Delete FTP Client User screen appears, as shown in Deleting a User for Outgoing FTP Connections.
