currently when I run an FTP client from a PC I get connected automatically to directory
D:[PCCOMMON] with a username/password.
How can I change this to end up at another directory instead?
Many thanks
Robert

SolutionAs a starting point, it would be useful to know which TCP/IP product is in use on this system, as there are at least three: TCP/IP Services (HP), Multinet (Process Software) and TCPWare (Process Software).
On OpenVMS most ftp connections are governed by how the user account is set up. A logical place to start would be to look at the UAF entry for the

Re: FTP server on VMS
Then check the settings in the UAF.
Please remember that in addition to the default device and directory being set to the correct device and directory, the use needs to have permissions to read (and if needed, write) files within the directory.
The FTP process is running with the UIC of the user account, so all access rules apply.

Re: FTP server on VMS
use a real user name (and password) to log
in, you'll be set to the home directory for
that user. (For anonymous FTP, you get
something else, and that may depend more on
which FTP server is being used.)
So, to change that initial device+directory
setting, change the properties of that user.
On VMS, that normally means using AUTHORIZE.
On UNIX, you might edit /etc/passwd (or you
might have a "moduser" utility, ...).
