Angela, is this a WinNT/2K/XP box? Then you could use QNTC, the NT file system on the iSeries. You execute this:

Say you have a server named 'RANGER' with a file share named 'Public', with a folder 'Vern' in that share.

mkdir /QNTC/RANGER/Public/Vern

will get you a link to that folder (may get a message that link already exists - that's OK).

Then the contents of 'Vern' can be treated as any other IFS file - you can CPYFRMIMPF to your database file. (There may be some CCSID issues, but NT is usually 1252, so use that on those files.)

This needs Netserver running, IIRC. Just STRTCPSVR *NETSVR

I would like to transfer a file from a server to an as/400 file. I currently do this by using strpccmd and run a .bat file that copies the file to a directory on the IFS and then use FTP to transfer it up to the as/400 file. I would like to copy the file in my CL program and not have to run a .bat file. I can not FTP directly from the other server as it does not have the ftp service.

Thanks!
