How can I use the CPYTOIMPF command to output to a network folder?
We want to avoid the manual step of moving the files from an IFS
folder to the network folder.

The concept is general, beyond the realm of just the DBF export utility. If the understanding exists to effect "the manual step of moving the files from an IFS folder to the network folder", then the understanding of directing the file creation via another interface should follow directly. Just:

Specify in the path name of the file, the directory under the root file system that identifies the network location as a mounted\network file system. Really no different than what would be don to move the files there.?

I know about mapping IFS folders so they show up on your PC. But not
sure about going the other direction.

As an example of what might be done using the IBM i NetClient File System (QNTC), in order to direct the output to the file named MyFile.prg on a particular server and share-name within a particular directory, use the following naming [replacing xxxName with the appropriate values:
/QNTC/ServerName/ShareName/DirectoryName/MyFile.prg
