RE: Setup as400 to accept ftped text files from a customer into an ifsfolder.

["Alvin Strasburger" <alvins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On v5r3 we had to get PTF (SI27720) 5722TC1 and then CHGFTPA LISTFMT(*DFT).
Theoretically this limits the FTPUSER to only navigate down the tree from
the Home Directory Parameter of the User Profile.  We upgraded to v6r1 over
5.3 and it seems to still be working, so I assume the PTF is now
incorporated.

Subject: Setup as400 to accept ftped text files from a customer into an
ifsfolder.

I'd like to allow a customer to ftp a text file to the ifs of our iSeries.
This would come in from outside the firewall.

I know i'll need to setup a user profile and password for them as well as
provide
them with the ip address of the 400. (and let them in thru the firewall)

Thats' about all i know.

How/where can i set this up so that when they send something it always goes
into the same ifs folder?  ie; lock them out of changing folders etc or
specifying
a different directory, specifically like /qsys.lib/**** etc.

What are things to look out for, gotchas etc?  Is there 'some' best practice
for
doing this to limit any possible security breaches?

Thanks for any help, direction or good reading recommendations.
