Brad was not clear enough on this.

1) DO NOT USE QDLS. EVER.
2) If you are tempted to use QDLS see rule 1.

There are MANY Issues with QDLS including:
Not Thread safe.
Stored in EBCDIC.
8.3 all caps file names.
Mapping to it from Windows is unpredictable and unreliable.
Microsoft no longer supports 8.3 file systems.
Very limited maximum files sizes.
Obtuse security model.
Requires enrollment in the system distribution.

actually they want to use the QDLS.

Well we would use SEQUEL like here: SEQUEL/EXECUTE VIEW(lib/view)
PCFMT(*PDF) TOSTMF('/QDLS/folder/file.pdf')

How can I view this part QDLS/folder/ ? Then the next step is to map the
PC server to the QDLS?
Where do I do that in the IBM i?

Yes, FTP would probably be the easiest I would think. As long as the FTP
server is up and running on the server you want to send information to
that
is. :)
