Remote File Copy
(RCP)
RCP allows the user to do file transfers to and from the AMASS
without manually logging onto the remote system. The login
function is performed automatically by the RCP utility. In
addition, RCP can do recursive copies, which can copy an entire
directory structure to or from the target. For the login function
to work, the user’s user name must exist on the target system;
therefore, coordination of user names must be enforced
across the network servers.
Tel net Available Telnet functions depend on the processes started by a
user’s login name and password. Using Telnet in conjunction
with a shell login process allows users to access utilities, such
as find and chmod, which perform functions not available
with FTP.
Security
Local: In local access mode, system security is primarily a
function of setting the directory permissions in the AMASS file
system. Because these permissions follow standard UNIX file
system conventions, the specific settings are not documented
here.
Network: For systems running in a network environment,
AMASS security, as with other UNIX file systems, is primarily
a function of the network systems or protocols used.
Use permissions appropriate for your users’ environment.
Caution
With system administration tools, a user can bypass system
security and modify AMASS configuration parameters that may
deteriorate system performance. Therefore, ADIC suggests you
restrict access to the scripts, utilities, and commands.
