# Access Control Parameters

You can change the parameters in an access control file to define a default directory to transfer files.

TIBCO MFT Platform Server provides a sample access control file called AccessControl.cfg in the MFTPS_install/config directory.

See the following table for supported parameters in an access control file:

Parameter Name | Description
--- | ---
USERID | Defines the local user ID. Use DEFAULT to indicate that this is the default value for a system. Note: You must specify either the USERID or NODE/IPADDR parameter. And you can specify both USERID and NODE/IPADDR.
NODE | Defines the node name. Use DEFAULT to indicate that this is the default value for a system. Note: You must specify either the USERID or NODE/IPADDR parameter. And you can specify both USERID and NODE/IPADDR. This parameter is mutually exclusive with the IPADDR parameter.
IPADDR | Defines the IP address. Note: You must specify either the USERID or NODE/IPADDR parameter. And you can specify both USERID and NODE/IPADDR. This parameter is mutually exclusive with the NODE parameter.
DESCRIPTION | Defines a description as a user comment for this access control, at a maximum, the length of the description is 32 bytes.
SEND_DIR | Defines the default directory to locate the files you want to send to another system. This parameter has no default value.
RECEIVE_DIR | Defines the default directory to locate the files you want to receive from another system. This parameter has no default value.
COMMAND_DIR | Defines the default directory to locate where you want to use the commands in this system. This parameter has no default value.
SEND_OPTION | Defines the options for sending files. The valid values are: ROOT If you have specified a directory in a transfer command, then the directory is appended to the directory defined by the SEND_DIR parameter. FORCE If you have specified a directory in a transfer command, then the directory is changed to the directory defined by the SEND_DIR parameter. The directory name defined in the request is ignored. The file name is appended directly to the directory defined by the SEND_DIR parameter. ALLOW If you have specified a directory in a transfer command, the directory is used. If you have not specified a directory, then it is changed to the directory defined by the SEND_DIR parameter. REJECT If you have specified a directory in a transfer command, then the file transfer terminates with errors. Otherwise, data is processed from the directory defined by the SEND_DIR parameter. NEVER The user defined with the NODE or USERID parameter can never send files. USE If you have specified a directory in a transfer command, then the directory is used. If you have not specified a directory, then the directory where the user exists when starting the previous CyberResp (the $PWD environment variable for CyberResp) is used. Note: If SEND_OPTION is not specified, USE is the default setting.
RECEIVE_OPTION | Defines the options for receiving files. The valid values are: ROOT If you have specified a directory in a transfer command, then the directory is appended to the directory defined by the RECEIVE_DIR parameter. FORCE If you have specified a directory in a transfer command, then the directory is changed to the directory defined by the RECEIVE_DIR parameter. The directory name defined in the request is ignored. The file name is appended directly to the directory defined by the RECEIVE_DIR parameter. ALLOW If you have specified a directory in a transfer command, the directory is used. If you have not specified a directory, then it is changed to the directory defined by the RECEIVE_DIR parameter. REJECT If you have specified a directory in a transfer command, then the file transfer terminates with errors. Otherwise, data is processed from the directory defined by the RECEIVE_DIR parameter. NEVER The user defined with the NODE or USERID parameter can never receive files. USE If you have specified a directory in a transfer command, then the directory is used. If you have not specified a directory, then the directory where the user exists when starting the previous CyberResp (the $PWD environment variable for CyberResp) is used. Note: If RECEIVE_OPTION is not specified, USE is the default setting.
COMMAND_OPTION | Defines the options for using commands. The valid values are: ROOT If you have specified a directory in a transfer command, then the directory is appended to the directory defined by the COMMAND_DIR parameter. NEVER The user defined with the NODE or USERID parameter can never use commands. USE If you have specified a directory in a transfer command, then the directory is used. If you have not specified a directory, then the directory where the user exists when starting the previous CyberResp (the $PWD environment variable for CyberResp) is used. Note: If COMMAND_OPTION is not specified, USE is the default setting.
SUBMIT_OPTION | Defines the options for submitting jobs. The valid values are: ALLOW The user defined in a transfer command can submit a job. NEVER The user defined with the NODE or USERID parameter can never submit a job.
