If I ftp from my production machine to my DR machine, logging onto my own userid on the remote machine, I find that I can issue the "rmdir" command (remove directory) and that it will remove my remote SFS directory even if there are files in it. Yet if I try to discard the directory from a dirlist, it will fail because of the presence of files. Could be dangerous.

My FTP server is set up so that it automatically establishes a working directory in an SFS file space, using CHKIPADR EXEC. And yes, it has SFS administrator authority - otherwise it wouldn't work.
