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

And if you don't/can't run Netserver, or want to do uploads from the
Internet, would a simple web-based upload be OK?  We do them all the
time using a basic Net.Data macro.

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.

HTH,
