Re: Excluding a user from access to FTP

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are some 'FTP exit points' that are really easy to program for.  You can 
cut and paste the code from the online redbook entitled 'Cool Title about the 
AS/400 and the Internet' available at the IBM site.  We use this program and 
have modifed it to log every FTP access to a file.  We use another program from 
this site to log every FTP request to another file.  We've built 'trojan 
horses' to accomplish some tasks.  For example Customer A sends us a file.  The 
FTP exit point program will start up a process based on the receipt of the 
file.  Check out this book.

Program is RPG.

How to implement this program is also documented in the above book.  See 
WRKREGINF.

If you have an aversion to do it yourself then you can all Pentasafe.  I do not 
use their products currently but they've been trying to get me to.

Subject:        Excluding a user from access to FTP

Hi all,

We have around 200 users who access our AS400 using client access, as
part of the log on procedure they have to enter a userid and password. I
not to clued up on the reasons why, but the userid and password are the
same and never expires.  It seems however that you can use this account
and password for an FTP connection and access/download most files....
My question is this, is there a way to exclude this user from having FTP
access?

Thanks
Simon
