FTAM File Protection
Using FTAM File Protection
Note that unless a file has passwords or concurrency control associated
with actions, you do not need to use the –z option to satisfy access
control. You either have permission to perform the desired action, or you
do not.
To obtain exclusive access to a file, use the –X option, which does not
require an action/concurrency string argument.
Table 5-5 Command-Line FTAM Commands with Options Using
Action/Concurrency Strings
Examples
The following examples illustrate correct use of the -z and -i option for
several different situations.
