Re: moving files from PC to the IFS in green screen Application

Scott,
If you have NetServer running and have set up shares on the PC's, you can
use the CPY command to copy files directly from the PC to a folder in the
IFS by using the QNTC file system.

Example:

I have a PC named I8KWINXP, with drive D: shared as D_I8KWINXP.
>From the green-screen command line on my AS/400, I just executed this
command:

CPY OBJ('/QNTC/I8KWINXP/D_I8KWINXP/temp/sql.txt') TODIR('/TMP')

and it copied the file SQL.TXT from the D:\TEMP folder to the /TMP folder in
the IFS.
