    I am trying to determine the best way to allow 3 VMS and 2 Windows boxes
    to copy files to two directories on my Unix box. Application guy wants
    to set up generic account that has write access to the directories and
    give out the "non-expiring" username and password. I did not like this
    idea from a who did what point of view. Also, the application will pick
    up the files written to the first directory and process them so anyone
    with the password can ftp in whatever data they want with very little
    accountability.

    I have looked at the rcp command which seems like a possibility but I
    know someone out there has done this in secure way.

    System is 5.1 and running tcpip.
