Steve thank you for responding.  What we needed to consider was the
fact that most of our users are prevented from getting to a colon
prompt.  But in a couple of instances, logons used for batch
processing and logons for administrative work are given access to the
colon. These particular users are trusted users.  Jeff Kell responded
via Email suggesting that We use the AL security feature at the group
write level and do not give AL to the FTP user.  Since our trusted
group users all have AM capability they would still have all
the read and write capability for the group. The FTP user
would be restricted from writing or deleting.  I hope I accurately
repeated what Jeff said.  Thanks again to All! - Joe Whitlock
