Re: virus scan files uploading to ifs

The problem you describe is real. IBM i IFS can easily become a vector for
virus spread among your Windows clients.
Yes there are exit points for virus scan

AFAIK your choices are "write it yourself" or "buy a package".
Powertech Antivirus (Fortra) comes to mind.

We have spreadsheets and other documents uploaded (for many years) to the
ifs to support orders. Without getting into big $$$ for a package suite of
security tools, are there tools to scan files as they are uploaded. The
spreadsheets (.xlsx) are read by rpgle to extract the rows. The other docs
may be opened by users to view using web browser, RPGLE CGI programs
handling the upload.
Have seen reference to the exit points to scan files on open or close.
