I'm working on an application that is sending from
VMS to VMS (either VAX or Alpha) C-Kermit (running
version 190).
I need to have the server side rename a file when
it receives it, but I want to be sure that this
operation is secure (meaning that a malicious
user could NOT send a SYSUAF.DAT and rename it
to the system one, etc). I.e. rename the file
in the same directory to which it was sent.
So I assume that enabling host is out. Can
I disable "cd" and do a "remote kermit rename x y"?
Can I use APC from VMS to VMS? (I've only seen
it mentioned that APC is for MS-DOS Kermit).
What are some other options or things to consider
in this application?
Thanks for any and all help.
Erik
