We use Security/3000 (from VESoft) and have a menu that allows users to
do downloads (only those we want to). The user selects the option on the
menu, and the menu triggers the file transfer in Reflection (and we have
a version for MS92 also), transferring ONLY the file(s) we want them to.
The menu only allows downloads (our choice - it could be made to to uploads
to, but we didn't want our users to be able to upload, only download).

It's a major advantage in that users can't arbitrarily start the file-
transfer dialogue in their termulator; the menu option allows you to even
pre-approve the file(s) that will get transferred.

If you'd like copies of the menu (and the command files it invokes to
do the transfers) let me know.
