NAME
       ftpusers — file which lists users who are not allowed to use ftp


DESCRIPTION
       /etc/ftpusers is used by proftpd(8); the file contains a list of users who are not allowed to use the ftp
       command.  For  security  reasons  at  least users like ``root'', ``bin'', ``uucp'' and ``news'' should be
       listed in this file.  Blank lines and lines beginning with `#' are ignored.

       Note: a lines with `#' in the middle is not a comment. Don't put `#' after a  name  to  comment  it;  use
       another line, or things will silently fail on you.


EXAMPLES
       /etc/ftpusers might contain the following entries:

       #
       # /etc/ftpusers
       #
       root
       bin
       uucp
       news
