Antwort: Re: Antwort: RE: connecting to PC with IP Address...

Ok i understand your situation, but why you do not show the list of the 
files in the folder on the web? You can make the folders in the htdocs 
directory of your webserver and can reference them in your RPG programm. 
So you view a page with all links to the documents.

 If this is too complicated for you the is a much simpler way. You can 
send the browser a link like this <a 
href="file://I://Attachments">Attachments</a>. Where I: is the IFS Drive 
Letter and Attachments is the directory where the attachments stored. So 
the browser will view a list of the files. So i think there are much 
easier and cheaper ways to do this.

Re: Antwort: RE: connecting to PC with IP Address...






OK, here's my situation...I'm getting ready to roll out an electronic 
requisition system...for each individual requsition there are attachments 
that go along with that...these can range from pictures to word documents 
to excel spreadsheets, etc...what happens is whenever a new req is 
created, I create a new folder on the IFS with the req number as the 
folder name (ex. 105373)...I have an option on the main menu of the 
application to view all attachments for a req number... 

what I'd like to do is open up windows explorer and have it default to 
that location on the IFS...for example running the DOS command on a user's 

PC like so:
explorer.exe \\nal820.flora.nal.com\eReqs\attachments\105373\

this application will be accessed via webfacing...and webfacing doesn't 
like the STRPCO and STRPCCMD commands in a CL...so,  I think I'm forced to 

write Java programs that go around these limitations.  If i'm wrong, 
please tell me...otherwise, I'd appreciate all your help in this matter...

Also, I'm a noob at Java so, any tips would be welcome...

Thanks for being patient guys...i really appreciate it...

Hi!

Can you explain what you want to do? Maybe there is a much easier way to 
start something on a remote PC then the already discussed solutions. Do 
you want to open a file like a word document or an excel spreadsheet? So 
please post what you need an i am sure i can help you.

RE: connecting to PC with IP Address...






I'm not exactly sure which route to take...I've tried the RUNRMTCMD with 
the PCs IP Address but it fails with CPE3425...

also, just as a side note, every PC in the company is going to have to 
have access to this option...anyone who signs on to the webfaced 
application will have to be able to open up a specified folder on the 
IFS...

I guess I'm gonna have to go the sockets route...sounds like fun to me...

And if you wanted to take out all of the learning curve of doing raw 
sockets
(and all the "fun" that comes with it) you could just install a stripped
down version of Tomcat on the PC. That way all you would need to do is 
write
a regular old servlet that would listen for requests.

Tomcat may be overkill for your situation though so make sure there is a
good enough reason to load it.

Speaking of your situation, I have always wondered how technologies like
GoToMyPc.com and MyWebExPc.com work?  I know they are running a Java 
client
that some how broadcasts its IP address to a main server which then allows
me to connect to my home PC from where ever I am.

If you know the IP of the PC invoking the application, you should be able 
to
execute a RUNRMTCMD.

Well, kind of.  I'm specifically talking about writing a server PROGRAM
that runs on the PC you want your application to talk to.   Assuming
it's written in Java (this is the Java 400 list), that program would 
create
a ServerSocket object and listen for a connection.
