RE: Client Access - Disable transfer option on workstation pr...

[Eric <Eric@xxxxxxxxxx>]

1. You can set up a macro that will automatically send/receive files 
utilizing the macro statements and assigning the macro to a pop-up keypad:

File Transfer (Macro)


 You can use a macro to transfer files between the host and your PC by 
entering send (to the host) and receive  (from the host) commands as macro 
statements.

 The easiest way to use such a macro is probably to assign it to one of the 
popup keypads.

 The symbols used in send and receive commands have the following meanings: 

 ( )  Parentheses enclose operands that govern the action of certain 
command options.
 [ ]  Brackets indicate an optional command argument.  If you do not use 
the optional item, the program selects a default action.

 /  A slash should precede the TSO password.
  d:   Drive



  OS/400 (5250 session)

  send     [d:][path] filename.ext  library name  file name member name 
[(options)]
  receive  [d:][path] filename.ext  library name  file name member name 
[(options)]

2. You may remove the Send and Receive icons from the tool bar by utilizing 
tool bar setup under Appearance..toolbar.  You simply drag the icon to the 
shredder.  (very OS/2-ish).  Use the right click to drag, not the left 
click.  I don't believe that this removes or disables the transfer options 
that are on the title bar.  You may be able to remove the transfer options 
by doing a customized setup at installation but I haven't checked.  Hope 
that this helps!

Subject:
Client Access - Disable transfer option on workstation program
---------------------------------
We have now started to implement CA win 3.1.3 on our new NT4 stations.
In the past, our users had PCS on WFW 3.11

Our users are allowed to use the workstation program, and some  file 
transfer
that have been prepared by the programmers.
For each file transfer, they just have to click an a nice icon.

The problems with CA are :

1. autorun
 when they start a file transfer with PCS, the autorun parameter allows an
automatic execution.
(the parameters are in the RTO file)
the same definition, executed with CA does not execute automatically : it 
shows
the data transfer screen, and the user has to click on "data transfer to
AS/400".
BUT that means, he will be able to change the definitions and execute 
something
completely different ...

Is the a possibility to change that ?

2. Transfer on the menu
on the workstation program, there is now a "transfer" menu, and a "Send" 
and
Recv" icons on the toolbar.
This means that our users have now the possibility to define new file 
transfers,
and even upload data on the as/400.
Even if we secure our libraries, a user which was allowed to access a file, 
will
now be allowed to destroy that file with an upload.

How can I suppress this option from the menu (and the transfer icons) ?

Thanks in advance
