RE: Access to Internal AS/400-IFS via Web Browser -- MIDRANGE-L

Chuck

A share is what you map a network drive to. It is an alias for some folder or directory on the iSeries (or NT or 2K or whatever). To see it, NetServer needs to be running, and the share has to have been defined. OpsNav is the easiest way to do this, but there MAY be command line calls to do this. You can start NetServer with the STRTCPSVR command at V4R5. You can use the local IP address, but you'll need that share name, perhaps call it "home" and have it point to "/home".

Eric,

Thanks for the feedback.

We are on V4R5 and don't use OpsNav.

Is a share similar to mapping a network drive in Windows ?

So if I do that will the browser find it ?

Thanks !

Chuck

Chuck,

You'll need to go into OpsNavigator to define a Netserver share for the home
directory.  That assumes, of course, that you saved the jsp to the home
directory.

Hi Folks,
We've had a vendor tell is we should be able to access some Java stuff (that
they had me load on the IFS) via a web browser and the IP address of our
AS/400, i.e. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/home/index.jsp

Our AS/400 IP address is NOT a public IP address.

And trying with that address and then /home/index.jsp does not work; I get
the ole "The page cannot be displayed" error.

Is this possible to do and I'm missing something ?

Thanks,

Chuck
