I do all this with exit programs.

Re: How do I force an FTP user to '/home/ftpdir'?






I was thinking that I might need to modify the FTP exit programs I have 
in place.  The exit programs access a table which specifies what FTP 
commands the user profile can and can't do (mkdir, cd, del, etc).  I 
guess I could add a flag to their entry in the table which says to 
position them to a homedir.

But if I allow them access to the 'chdir' command, how would I keep them 
from accessing a 'higher-level' directory?  Group profiles, with 
appropriate access rights to objects, libraries and folders?  Or could I 
somehow do that with an exit program?
