Title: RE: FTP and directories

        I tried setting the default directory on the user profile and it was ignored.  It seems that the only thing I can do is tell the user which dirrectory he can use then configure the exit program to give an error message if he tries any other directory.  Bummer.

Guy,

You have to be on V4R4 to have IFS support for the FTP exit program.
Before that you can only rely on IFS directory security. I do think,
though, that you should be able to set the default directory on the user
profile.
