RE: CHROOT on iSeries FTP Server
Hi,
I
don't understand your problem, you can use the iSeries (AS/400) standard
security to exclude your FTP user from getting into other libraries.
we do
it for all our interface files from other servers.
If you
like to know if the IFS is reroutable, I sugest that you register (it's free) at
www.Experts-Exchange.com there is
a group of
AS/400 goeros that know answers on almost all
questions
My question is
not FTPAPI specific, but I thought this list was a great audience of people that
might know the answer. Here is my situation:
I have a remote company I need to allow access to my
iSeries to drop of files for me to process. I want to set them up with a
limited user ID and also have them go directly in to their folder when they log
in via FTP and not be able to change directory upwards. I am open to doing
this in a traditional library or on the IFS. My only concern is that right
now our iSeries is configured to log people in to the DB2 side of the machine
and it needs to stay that way. I am not sure the company placing the file
will be open to issuing the namefmt command to switch to the IFS, so maybe my
only option is to use the DB2 side of things or maybe there is a way to route a
user to the IFS @ logon time?
Either
place is fine for me to have them drop files off. I am mostly concerned
with restricting movement on the FTP server to just their own
folder/library/directory.
If anyone
has done this sort of thing before, your input is much appreciated.
Thanks!
