File shares and IFS

[bill.howie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello.

I have what I think is a simply fixed problem, but I do not know the
solution.  We are setting up archiving on our ISeries for our invoices.  We
have created PDFs from them, and right now I am storing them in a
subdirectory off the ROOT directory and I am creating shortcuts through
Windows Network Neighborhood for the users.  I am keenly aware that this is
not the most secure way to do this, more likely it is the least secure way.
I have read some posts about file shares through ISeries Navigator.  What I
am seeking is the absolute most secure way to have the users access these
files.   With the setup the way it is now, any one of them could navigate
up a level and have access to the ROOT directory itself, which I don't
want.  I just want them to be able to have access to the one directory
where these files reside, and that is ALL.  No ability to navigate up a
level, nothing like that at all.  Is file shares the way to go for this,
and if so, is it possible to set these up so it is just a shortcut on the
desktop instead of having the users open up ISeries Navigator each time?
Please advise.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
