Not sure about the APIs but you can prevent CD (change directory) within the 
exit program.  My approach has been to use the exit program to place the 
user in a directory with a copy of the file that they will be FTPing and 
prevent them from CDing out of the directory (or anything else).  Included 
in this is preventing PUTs to a directory where the iSeries is "providing" a 
file (I.E. incoming files in one directory, outgoing files in another).
