Creating new user with specified permission

[Karl Rohwedder]

You may use the alternate FTP server HGFTP (found on the freeware CD's available via OpenVMS homepage). This server mays run in parallel to the standard FTP server (using a different port).
It allows to specify exactly the directories any given FTP user may set default into. You may also limit the available commands for a user.

Thanks Robert (and thanks to all!!)...

Just change file's owner and file's security and now new user can only get specified file.

You guys save my life! :D

Hello,
For your FTPDAT account, you can add an Identifier in AUTHORIZE and then set the file ownerships to that identifier, FTPDAT. You would do this to the login directory and files contained therein.

E.g.,
$ mcr authorize

or

$ set def sys$system
$ run authorize

UAF> add/ident/value=uic:[x,y] ftpdat
UAF> show ftpdat
The uaf record will now show that your particular UIC [x,y] is equated to identifier FTPDAT (or whatever you want your identifier to be called).
UAF> mod ftpdat /flags=(captive,restricted)

Then,

$ set file/own=FTPDAT ftpdat.dir
$ set file/own=FTPDAT [ftpdat]*.*;*

$ set prot=(w:r) ftpdat.dir
$ set prot=(w:r) [ftpdir]*.*;*
$ dir/prot/own ftpdir.dir
$ dir/prot/own[ftpdir]

Be sure you use the correct disc drive specification.

If you do this, you will have the utmost protection on this account. If you do all this, you will have FREAKY security on THIS ACCOUNT!
