Re: Checking file existence on windows server

Hi, Mike:

You should be able to "mount" that Windows server under the QNTC file system (a kind of "reverse" NetServer SMB-CIFS client on the 400) and then you should be able to use any of the standard IFS APIs, such as "access()" to determine if a given file exists.

Can anyone give me an idea of the best, most reliable, way (if it is even possible) to check to see if a file exists on a Windows server from an iSeries RPG (or CL) application? I want to try and condition an action in an RPG application based on a picture files existing or not existing on the windows server. My only thought is to create an IFS directory and FTP all the files from the server directory to the IFS and then check to see if an IFS file exists using CHKIFSOBJ

Thanks
