FTAM File Protection

Using FTAM File Protection

The tables in this section describe the syntax and use of HP-UX FTAM's

action/concurrency strings. Action/concurrency strings are always and

only used as arguments to certain command options, as noted in the

following tables.

NOTE The syntax for action/concurrency strings is abbreviated to “a/c” in these

tables. The previous section contains details about action/concurrency

strings.

Table 5-4 shows the use of action/concurrency strings with interactive

FTAM commands. Note that unless a ﬁle has passwords or concurrency

control associated with actions, you do not need to use the y or z option to

satisfy access control. You either have permission to perform the desired

action, or you do not.

Table 5-4 Interactive ftam Commands with Options Using

Action/Concurrency Strings

Table 5-5 shows the use of action/concurrency strings with command-line

FTAM commands. The option (and its argument) apply to the

immediately preceding ﬁle name in each command.
