RE: FTP to the IFS

Sometimes the Map drive does not work giving some strange 'access denied' 
problems.  In such cases, I first double click the File share to open it (you 
could then promptly close it) and then map it.
Thanks,
Sudha

You might consider mapping a network drive. Drag/drop inside OpsNav is
kinda strange. But if you have the mapped drive, it's just like local on
the PC.

Under File Systems, click on File Shares. Then right-click on the one you
want to map, in the right-hand pane. There'll be the option to Map network
drive...

This assumes NetServer is up. If you don't know, right-click on File
Systems->File Shares and select Open AS/400 NetServer. You can start it
from there. You might need to add a share for the root, built over '/'.

Once set up, this is easier than FTP (which isn't really all that hard).
