The screen shows existing rules for filtering activity going out via FTP to specific IP address ranges, as shown by their IP Address and Subnet Mask. The entry for *ALL shows general rules for activity coming going out to IP addresses that are not specifically listed.

The FTP column either is blank or shows a letter indication how Firewall is to filter FTP requests going to that IP Address Range.

• Blank or N: Reject all incoming activity
• S: Allow activity, but do not log this
• Y: Allow activity

The final Text column shows a freeform text description of the rule.

To modify an existing rule, type 1 in the Opt column for that rule and press Enter.

To add a new rule, press the F6 key.
