Firewalling is one option. If you're using linux, hosts.deny and hosts.allow is yet another.

Another may be the Proftpd configuration itself; I haven't looked at it in years, but it's designed similarly to the way the apache configuration system is built, and it may have the option. Documention here (http://www.proftpd.org/docs/).

Old post,. but since I needed it right now,. I figured I'll paste the solution:

Edit: /etc/proftpd.conf


....

</Global>


<limit login>

DenyAll
allow 127.0.0.1 1.2.3.4 5.6.7.8
</limit>

Include /etc/proftpd.vhosts.conf


Hope that helps someone else down the road.
