Does the network version handle (say) 15000 files without flinching? Can I
see the owner of a file in Xtree Net? Can I change more than the usual 4
attributes?
I asked Central Point for a brochure. It was less than informative on what
can be done, what limitations, etc.
Any info you can provide, etc.  Do you have any files I could F'req or ftp
that would help? No, not the program! Maybe a help file?

|         +ADMIN
+SECRET

I have set up REPORTS directory as my FTP home directory.  When users
FTP in, I want them to have access only to their directory: marketing,
or sales, or admin.  How do I restrict their access to only their
directory?  Also, how do I keep them from moving up in the tree towards
root?
Any help would be appreciated.

Write your reply.

assistant: I tried this today, got a file creation error. Played around with various
pipes and redirections and found that the following does work in a batch
file. I had my program create the .TXT, and then delete it.
F:
Login < c:\login.txt
where login.txt contained:
USER
PASSWORD
Interesting enough and don't ask me why but
Login User < password.txt
where Password.txt contained the appropriate password:
PASSWORD
not only didn't work but locked up the machine and I had to reboot.
So at the moment I'm creating a file with: user <cr> password <cr> in it and
calling Login < file and then deleting file. This seems a little kludgey to
me and presents a possible security problem in that it writes the file and
deletes it but someone might recover it and determine the password. I did
write the code in the .exe in such a way that the .exe does not contain the
text USER or PASSWORD and I'd really like to figure out a better way, but for
now this works and I'm using it.

user: You are replying to All about "4.1 and files".

Write your reply.

assistant: Here's an unusual problem for us to ponder.
We have a project group currently running MicroFocus Cobol development and
apps on our 4.1 network.  Every now and then a programmer will create a
source (.cbl) file on the local workstation and copy it to the network drive
for compilation there.
Occasionally the file will appear corrupted once it arrives on the server -
file date/time stamps are the same as well as the file size but the data is
scrambled.  The users swear that the source is good on the local drive, btw.
I've checked users rights to the target directories and all is well.  I've
turned off compression on the target directories to eliminate the possibility
that NetWare is somehow screwing with the files.  I've asked the users to use
ncopy /v when moving files and they swear the problem still occurs.
Has anyone else seen symptoms similiar to this?  The server reports no
redirected blocks and no read errors of any sort, btw.
Any ideas or comments would be appreciated.
