Examples: Using CfAlias
You can configure the parameters in the CfAlias.cfg file according to your end goal.
To solve this, the administrator can simply set up two CfAlias groupings in the CfAlias.cfg file as follows:
USERID=JohnDoe, NODE=DEFAULT, TYPE=RECEIVE, FILE=/home/JohnDoe/DailyReports/report.%GDATE.doc, ALIAS=report.doc * USERID=JohnDoe, NODE=DEFAULT, ALLOW=NOWith the settings configured in the first CfAlias grouping set, when JohnDoe sends in his daily report, it is put in the following directory with a new file name each day based on the current date:
/home/JohnDoe/DailyReports/report.%GDATE.doc
For example, if the date is July 18, 2020, the file can be created as
report.20200718.doc. JohnDoe has no knowledge of where or how his report is stored. Also, note the
TYPE=RECEIVE
setting, this is because a receive transfer on the responder is a send transfer from the initiator. Finally, the second CfAlias grouping restricts JohnDoe from having any other access to any file that is not
report.doc.
