Server 2003: FTP Server

Is there a way to make it so after a certain amount of failed logon attempts, an IP is locked out for a certain amount of time? Thanks...

Do you mind pointing me in the right direction? I am an intern and a bit of a server 2003 noob...
 
Is the server on an Active Directory domain? If it is, open Users and Computers snap-in. If not on a domain, I think you click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Local Security Policy. Under there is options for locking out a user account after so many invalid attempts.
 
Also disable anonymous login if this is for private use so you won't get noisy people browsing thru your files. Also to keep in mind that ftp is not secure and your password will be send via clear text.
