WRKFCNUSG and Application Administration for FTP

Resolving The Problem

You can use Application Administration with the IBM® i5/OS® to administer security for your i5/OS FTP server or client. This process is done through IBM® iSeries™ Navigator by right-clicking on the system and selecting Application Administration from that context menu. Using Application Administration, you can allow or deny users or groups of users from FTPing into or out of your system. Also, you can allow or deny users or groups of users from using particular FTP client or server commands, such as LS, PUT, RCMD, and so on.

An example of this follows:



This can also be done via the WRKFCNUSG command on your operating system command line. Following is an example of the WRKFCNUSG for FTP client and server security:

By selecting Option 2 next to any of these functions, you can add users to an Allowed or Denied list. By selecting Option 5 next to any of these functions, you can view the users that are Allowed or Denied from using these functions.
