    How best to restrict/lock down file transfers between agents?

    I want to be able to send file from agent A to agent B, but not from agent B to A.

    The only way appears to be to restrict the user used in the FT. But what if the creator of the job decides to choose a different user?

    Ideally id like to restrict the transfer at the agent level, that doesnt appear possible. Ie theres no function in the agent ucxjlx6.ini file to whitelist/blacklist other agents.

    Any ideas?

    One option which is dependent on your needs is to set agent A to be read only in the agent settings in client 0.  Read/Write are for file transfers and Execute is for jobs.
