The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Securing FTP in AIX 5.1

Zone: IBM AIX Unix

Tags: aix, ftp

I have one for all of you AIX guru's out there -

We have recently taken on a vendor who needs FTP-Put access to a directory on our UNIX server in order to send invoice confirmation files to us. Setting up the basic FTP service on our server was no problem but now I have an issue with security. The directory they need to access is /pro/pronto/edi/in/berger - this is the ONLY directory they need to place files in. I have their user home directory set to /pro/pronto/edi/in so when the session is initated - that's their default directory. The problem is they can cd to any other directory on the system from their with a standard FTP client and that's not a good thing. I can't mess up the security permissions for this directory structure or it will break other functions as well. ANY ideas would be VERY appreciated.
