Copying Firewall Rules for IFS Files and Folders

To copy rules for filtering IFS files and folders from one object or set of objects to another, enter 3 in the Opt field for the rule on the Work with IFS Security screen, as shown in Setting Firewall Rules for IFS Files and Directories (STRFW > 5 > 1).

The Copy IFS Security screen appears:

The read-only File System/Root Dir and Directory/File name fields show the path to the objects to which the rules originally refer.

Enter the values for the object for which the rules will be copied into the remaining fields:

New File System/Root Dir

The file system or root directory containing the objects. To see a list of existing file systems, press the F4 key.

New Directory/File

The path to the object, beneath the file system or root directory shown in the previous field. If it ends in an asterisk ("*"), it refers to all the files and folders within that directory. If it ends in a slash ("/"), it refers to the directory itself.
