FTP home dir designation?

[Guest.Visitor]

Can anyone tell me how I can designate what the root directory for a specific user is when they log on to the AS/400 with FTP? I have specified a value in the HOMEDIR on the user's profile, but it doesn't seem to work. It always goes to the root of the IFS. The FTP server documentation doesn't seem to say ANYTHING about it. Any clues?? Thanks John Richardson

I have found that the directory is controlled by the CURLIB parameter on the user profile. I don't know of any way that you could direct it automatically to an IFS directory.

John, Unfortunately I ran into the same problem. I ended up setting CURLIB in the usrprf to a library called PUBLIC which I created to hold just general stuff. The user would have to use the cd command to move to "their" directory in the IFS. To limit exposure I ended up using custom programs registered to the ftp system exit points. The user could then only cd to their directory from PUBLIC. Not great but it works.
