Dear all,

Does anyone knows how to restrict users access on the directory and files by FTP in OpenVMS?

I know Unix and NT can define which specific file or directory the user can accesse by FTP.

Thanks!!

kaman,

There is a general way. OpenVMS sticks a NETWORK process identiefier on each FTP-child process (show process/rights). By putting an ACE on every file/directory that is public but shouldn't be via FTP, you can restrict access:

$ SET FILE/ACL=(ID=NETWORK, ACCESS=NONE)

You can use additional ACE's for specific (FTP)users.

If you want NT/UNIX-like anonymous FTP behaviour, see the appropriate paragraph in the TCP/IP management manual:

http://www.openvms.compaq.com:8000/tcpip50a/6526/6526profile_019.html#anon_ftp_sec

or for TCP/IP 5.1:

Hi,
on VMS machines the TCP/IP software is called UCX.

Please use UCX on command prompt to connect to (the propmt will change to UCX>).
Use help on command prompt to find out more about FTP, TELNET and others.

Maybe you can find a solution since I'm not sure what you are looking for exactly.
Please explain what you would do on Unix or NT OS...
Klaus

Type UCX help set service/accept
You can restrict access by ip address (or host names ...if is defined)
After changing settings you must restart ftp service:
$UCX DISA SERV FTP
$UCX ENAB SERV FTP
