Hi John

There are several options:

NFS - Network File System. The iSeries can be either client or server,
as can the Linux box. Works very well.

NetServer - Using Samba the Linux box can mount an iSeries share
locally.

FTP - Pretty much any Linux distribution will already include an ftp
server, so you won't need to shell out for more software.

I use all of the above with our i825 at V5R2, though mounting NetServer
shares via Samba was not very successful at V5R1 and earlier. 

Check the archives for more details.
