Abstract
A system and method for limiting access using file-level protocol rule sets. A rule set, comprising of an ordered set of rules, is associated with a virtual file system (VFS). When a data access request is received, the network address of the client originating the data access request is utilized to select a matching rule from the rule set for use in determining access to the VFS. The selected rule is then processed to determine if the data access request is permitted.
