Re: Map remote dir to IFS?


Is it possible map a remote directory (on a Unix or Windows server machine or even on another AS/400 - on the local network) via a *SYMLNK in the IFS? I would like to be able to set up the link once and be able to use the CPY command. The alternative is FTP, but I think that a single command, without building a script is more elegant. TIA. 

Three ways.  /QFileSvr.400, /QNTC and NFS.

The iSeries supports all 3 (obviously) so for iSeries to iSeries communication, you can use any/all of the above.

Unix supports both NFS and /QNTC (the latter is supported using a program called SAMBA)

And of course, jolly ol' Windows works with /QNTC.

Each system tends to work best with it's native system... i.e. the iSeries with QFileSvr.400, Unix with NFS, and well.. Windows never really works well. :)
