RE: Reference a Windows network drive from the AS/400

Check out shannon odonnels article in the December 1999 Midrange Computing.
Exactly what you ask.
 
It is basically the same as writing to an IFS directory but you use the
/QNTC file system, which after a little setup, is your NT drive in the IFS.

Subject: Reference a Windows network drive from the AS/400



I would like some way to write an ASCII fixed length "PC" file directly to
an NT network drive from an unattended AS/400 batch job.

Perhaps the solution is to write directly to the IFS, then use AS/400
NetServer to serve that directory up to the Windows network.

But I was wondering if it is possible to reference a Windows network drive
(using UNC) directly from the AS/400.   I know you can reference the AS/400
from the PC network using a variety of methods - that is not the question.
I would also rather stay away from the IPCS (or whatever it is called this
week).

Thanks,
