Chapter 3. Operating NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS - IBM

OSI/File Services filestore owners can define the accessibility to their filestores, limiting
it:
� Only to themselves, in which case it is a private filestore.
� To other local users, in which case it is a public filestore.
� To users on a remote system, in which case it is an open filestore.
Users can also password-protect their filestores.
For each local OSI/File Services user, the privileged user defines the user capability
in the local system, indicating whether users can access:
� Their own filestores
� Other local filestores
� Their own filestores and other local filestores.
The filestore accessibility and user capability is set when a user is defined to
OSI/File Services.
The OSI server can only check that OSI/File Services-user ABC has allowed
OSI/File Services-user DEF to transfer ABC’s files, if the user ID in OSI/File Services
is the same as the TSO user ID. This is only possible for the interactive
interface, because for the batch and API interfaces the job name is used instead of
the user ID.
For more information about OSI/File Services, refer to the OSI/File Services
System/370 User’s Guide.
