FTP as administrator

Hi,

Now and then I see that a script is trying to login on FTP with login 'Administrator'. It tries for some time.
Can that be block in some way (when a user fails to login 3 time it should be blocked for x minutes or something like that)

In windows you can edit Group policy gpedit.msc

Start - Run - gpedit.msc
there you can edit the number of times after wrong login the account is disabled for how long

Hope this will help you

PS> I would create an additional adminaccount in case Adminstrator is disabled
