You can give them a USRPRF that has limited authority. Normal AS400 object
level security is in effect when you FTP.

A client of ours insists on encrypting a file and sending it via FTP instead
of emailing it.  We have never let a customer FTP into our AS/400 before.

For test purposes, I played around with running FTP commands from my home
via a VPN to the AS/400 at work to test out how our client would get into
our system.  I was surprised to find out that when I added or deleted a file
from the system, there was no record or log of my activities when I was
signed on via FTP.

Our company has to setup the VPN software on the client's PC to enable them
to FTP to our AS/400.

Is there a way to keep track or log any kind of FTP commands or anything
done to the system while a customer is signed on via FTP?  Or, is there a
way to limit what a user can do while signed on via FTP?

TIA,

Frank
