CA Express on V3R2 & V3R7

WAS: Subject: AS400 - PC without Client Access


In a V3R2 & V3R7 environment, are there advantages to using CA Express vs. CA
Win95?

Eric mentioned that V4R3 was the starting point for Netserver...  but also
added that CA Express uses Netserver, hence my original question.

I am currently using the CA Win95 V3R1M2 package and I have the ability to map
a PC drive to the AS/400 (V3R2).  Is this Netserver?

TIA,

     Ron,

     Starting in V4R3, you can start netserver to share
     folders/directories/libraries/printers/etc. This feature makes the
     AS400 available to Network Neighborhood as if the AS400 was a
     Windows server. Works like a charm. As a matter of fact, if you're
     using CA Express, you're already using netserver, since there is NO
     shared folder support in Express.

Hi All,

We have a requirement to pass files from the 400 directly to PC's (and
back) without using Client Access (or Express). We know we could use FTP
but that adds a layer of complexity in that we would need to know the
TCP/IP address of each PC ahead of time. Every time a new PC was added at a
clients site, we would have to somehow know the new TCP/IP address of that
PC. This doesn't seem workable (but maybe someone has some ideas?).

Currently, we are using CPYTOPCD to the IFS and mapping a drive to get it
to the PC. But you can't map a drive without cliend access.

Any ideas? How about what manuals to describe the process (or is it really
easy and we are just dense?).
