RE: Anyone copying files from Unix to AS400?

[richard@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I'm not a Unix export, but I'm going to guess that the Unix code doesn't 
understand UNC file naming. 

You might need to use FTP or NFS to copy the files from the Unix shell. 

You can get Windows Services for Unix for Windows 2000 V3.5 from the MS 
Web Site. Then you can probably use NFS mappings since the Windows box can 
now be a client to the AS/400 NFS server. 

Hope this helps.

subject: Anyone copying files from Unix to AS400?

We have a new Intel server where the application runs KornShell under MKS 
Toolkit on Win2k Server.  We create files that need to go to the AS400 and 
under the old DOS Based version of the system, I just use a DOS COPY to 
the IFS and then execute this command to get the data to the native AS400 
file system:

RMTCMD CPYFRMIMPF FROMSTMF('qdls\OPERATNS\EXTMNTCF.CSV') 
TOFILE(SFNBACH/SLCIFNEW) RCDDLM(*CRLF) MBROPT(*REPLACE)

I replaced the DOS COPY with:

cp ${CHARTER_FILES}/EXTMNTCF.CSV \\S103080D\QDLS\OPERATNS\EXTMNTCF.CSV

These commands seem to fail.  Anyone with experience in these system know 
if the CP command supports the UNC File syntax and how do you format the 
RMTCMD so as not to get a syntax error from the parenthesis in the command 
parms?  Quotes?

Thanks,
