Creative solution to file access from outside

[Bob Schmid]

We may be starting to allow users to come in from the outside via ssh on our engine to place files.

Any creative way out there to restrict the login to their home directory or a specific folder/file system ?Running AIX 5.2.0.0

Thanks  😉

Bob,

I found the following link at IBM,

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-settingupchroot/index.html

This does take a bit of work it seems,  not simple as you might want.

Why not have the users deposit the files on another system and once they log off kick off a process to sweep the files if any, check them and then copy/ftp where you want them?

Hope that helps

James
