The BlueZone Administrator has the ability to lock certain BlueZone Secure FTP commands and features.  The lockable commands and features are listed in the Wizard's FTP Locks dialog as shown below.

How it Works

FTP Command Lock - When an end user attempts to access an "FTP Command" that is locked, they will receive a message that this particular FTP command is not allowed.

FTP Feature Lock - When a BlueZone Secure FTP feature is locked, the end user will still be able to view the locked dialog, but will find that the dialog's OK button is grayed out, thus preventing the end user from making any changes to that particular dialog.

It is important to note that the BlueZone Secure FTP client can inherit the lock status of certain BlueZone emulator features.
