RE: FTP IFS to RS 6000 -- MIDRANGE-L

Once connected (mount command on V5R1 has no user or password, so I don't know how you are autheticated - same ID and password?), NFS-mounted directories are just like any other IFS directory - just put your file in there, and it's on the Unix box automatically. Nice idea.

Does it need any background set up to monitor for any entry in the IFS

In brief, NFS is "Network File System", which allows you to dynamically
mount local and/or remote file systems.  It's very similar in concept to a
"Mapped Drive" in the Windows world.  Using NFS, you would mount the remote
unix file system as a sub-directory in the IFS.  Once mounted, you can
manipulate this remote file-system as if it were local to your AS400.
