Locking individual BlueZone Secure FTP features
This feature is not supported in the Web-to-Host Wizard GUI application. You must edit the default.ini file using a text editor such as Notepad.
When an individual BlueZone Secure FTP feature is locked, the user will still be able to view the locked dialog, but may find the entire dialog locked or that some or all of the buttons on a dialog are disabled, thus preventing the user from accessing that particular feature.
Configuration method: Manual configuration
Feature scope: Launch folder level feature
In some cases, you might find the inheriting common lock values from BlueZone feature too restrictive. Or, you may find that setting the FTP locks are also too restrictive.
For example, when you inherit the Session Configure lock from BlueZone, or set the Lock Session Configure lock, in the FTP Locks page, your users will be able to see the BlueZone FTP Session Configure dialog, but will not be able to change or edit any setting on any dialog or tab. The OK button will be disabled. You might find this to be too restrictive.
As an option, if you want your users to be able to be able to edit existing BlueZone FTP connections, but not be able to remove or create new ones, you could use the individual lock feature to disable the New and Remove buttons on the Connections tab.
The following dialogs can be customized by disabling each individual item.
In Session Configuration
•  Connections dialog
•  Options dialog
In the New, Edit, or Copy dialogs
•  Connection dialog
•  Miscellaneous dialog
The remainder of the dialogs can only be completely disabled
•  Initial Commands dialog
•  Schedule dialog
•  Firewall dialog
•  Security dialog
•  Certificate dialog
This is accomplished by editing the default.ini file located in the desired launch folder. The following is a portion of the default.ini file with the FTP lock entries that pertain to this discussion, shown in red.

Locking the Session Configuration dialogs
The session configuration lock table contains the values needed to lock one or more individual features of the Session Configuration dialog. The Session Configuration dialog in BlueZone Secure FTP consists of multiple tabs. Only the items located on the Connections tab and the Options tab can be locked. To lock the License Server tab, refer to Inheriting the BlueZone lock settings.
The two tabs that are controlled by this table are the Connections tab and the Options tab. To lock a single item, place the value assigned to that item in the LockFTPSession= entry in the default.ini file. To lock more than one item, add the values together and place the result in the LockFTPSession= entry.
For example, to lock only the New button, place a 2 in the LockFTPSession= entry as shown here:
LockFTPSession=2
To lock the New, Edit, and Copy buttons, add 2, 4, and 8 together and place the result in the LockFTPSession= entry as shown here:
LockFTPSession=14
Refer to Table 1: Session configuration lock for more information on the assigned values.
Note
Entering a -1 locks all the items located on the Connections and Options tabs.
Locking the Connection dialog
In addition to the Connections and Options tabs, there are items located on several tabbed dialogs located inside the main Session Configuration dialog. These additional dialogs can be accessed through the New, Edit, or Copy buttons.
The same procedure applies here. To lock one or more items, add the assigned values together and place that value in the LockFTPConnection= entry in the default.ini file.
Note
Entering a -1 locks all the items located on the Connection tab.
Refer to Table 2: New/Edit/Copy connection lock for more information on the assigned values.
Locking the Miscellaneous dialog
The same procedure applies here. To lock one or more items, add the assigned values together and place that value in the LockFTPMiscellaneous= entry in the default.ini file.
Note
Entering a -1 locks all the items located on the Miscellaneous tab.
Refer to Table 3: Miscellaneous lock for more information on the assigned values.
Locking the Additional dialogs
The following dialogs can only be completely locked. The individual items cannot be individually locked as in the above dialogs. To lock any of the following dialogs, enter a 1 in the corresponding entry in the default.ini file.
Refer to Table 4: Additional dialogs for more information.
