Loud, that kind of restriction requires the exit program, so that when a "cd" request comes through, you get to see what the user is trying to do and you can allow or reject. You could have any 'cd' request rejected, e.g., so they can only go to their home directory. Or you could allow them to make subdirectories of the home directory and allow them to 'cd' only to one of those - you'd want to allow 'cd ~', becasue that takes them to the home directory - if FTP allows that - don't remember - and possible 'cd ..' for parent, so long as it does not go above the home directory.

The same treatment would be required for any path specified on other commands, like mget.

Real security and control gets complicated fast, eh?

This is great timing, we had a need to make the exact changes below.
So if I set up a user to be in "/home/goodbar/", what prevents me from doing
a "cd /", "cd /qsys.lib/production.lib", "mget *"?
In other words, how can I restrict a user to just /home/goodbar?

Thanks,
