The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Michael recommends monitoring IFS activity, but this is safe only if you
otherwise trust the one coming in. As you say, exit points are better -
they let you stop activity at the door. There are 3 formats for FTP
login and 1 for client requests - if the party should not be there at
all, that can be controlled. And the kinds of things they do can be
regulated. I seem to remember several classes of requests that are given
to the exit program. Not all that hard to write, in principle - just a
program call with a defined set of parameters and structures, after all.
API documentation should cover the details satisfactorily. I'm giving
what I vaguely remember and do not guarantee complete correctness here.
Perhaps a special subcommand string could be sent, which could be
changed to the appropriate call to signal the end of transmission and do
something then.

James,
Exit points are the way to go for many things with FTP.
I will say that supported versions of the operating system do support the
"limit capabilities" part of the user profile when using ftp commands.
