RE: Transferring files to and from AS/400 and an attached win2000 server

You can use the QNTC file system to do this. Very straightforward, it maps
shares on W2K servers to folders in the QNTC file system, from which you can
then use them like any other IFS file. Download yourself a copy of redbook
SG246056, Consolidating Windows 2000 Servers in iSeries, and read chapter
13. Despite the way the document seems to direct you, you don't have to have
an integrated xSeries server in your iSeries to do this.

Subject: Transferring files to and from AS/400 and an attached win2000
server


I am hoping to initiate a process on an AS/400 running V4R5 that can
retrieve a file from an attached Windows 2000 server, process that
information  and create new files on the AS/400 and then transfer those
newly created files to the Windows 2000 server.

Do I need to go through IFS?
Can I FTP the files back and forth?  If so do I need to translate EBCDIC to
ASCII?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob
