Pull the ethernet cable from the computer, that'll restrict them.

The reasonable way to ask this question is to attach a copy of your
ftpaccess file so we'll see what went wrong and be able to help you.

You *do* know what is the ftpaccess file is, right?

Oh, boy! You didn't read the doc's did you? you didn't search the net.
probably didn't look anywhere.

You are so dead wrong here that I feel like laughing. 

Do yourself a favor, don't humiliate yourself in public and think before
asking.

WU-Ftpd is  ftp server which can be anonymous or not as you configure it.

I hate mentioning the obvious, but wu-ftpd allows anonymous and logged
access depending on the configuration.

Oh, they are restricted alright, what you want is to make them less
restricted and let them see something.

Conclusion:

1. If you'd bother to read the WUFTPD fine manuals you'd know what to do,
and you'd save yourself some public humiliation.
2. If you don't read the doc, atleast make sure your question makes sense
and that you know what an ftp server is.
3. I might overlook your stupidity and help anyway if the ftpaccess file was
attached.
