Restrict ISPConfig3 access to certain IPs

[concept21]

Dear all the ISPConfig 3.046 authors and users,
To increase the security level of ISPConfig3 to the highest level, I have this ideas in mind:
(1) Restrict ISPConfig3 control panel access to certain IPs;
(2) Restrict ftp access to certain IPs.

If you have any idea about how to do these, please share with each other.

Like with any webbased application, you can restrict access to ispconfig within the apache configuration.

We can use hosts.allow, hosts.deny to control ftp access.
